All Paths Lead Home

All Paths Lead Home is a collection of a family archive, personal musings and poetry on the topics of memory, lineage, time and love, in an effort to comprehend the ephemeral nature of home. From images of rural Turkey, the inner city of Cleveland, Ohio in the 60s, Florida A&M in the 80s, various places of Germany in the 90s, this series embodies the gesture of miracle chance, where kismet arises. The book treads deeply into his question of home existing in a plane beyond both the physical and metaphysical, but within time itself.
