A Better World

I am unsatisfied with the default way we have been taught to view the world. I need to believe in something better, something more. I began this project to decide for myself what a meaningful life looks like. A Better World is an ongoing series exploring and reimagining the different aspects of life, with the goal of spending our days more thoughtfully, and with the purpose of making our tomorrows closer to our dreams of utopia.

Representation

The leaps of faith we take putting our trust into what's not ourselves. To let our identities be defined by what we are not, giving permission to lose control entirely. Is that selling out your soul or expanding it? Moving from place to place, I never quite felt allowed to call one country my own, the telltale signs of the immigrant experience — nomads whose homes are what they can tuck in their luggage bags and hearts. The question of who am I always rooting itself in where do you come from. A question asked many times and my answer always being a conflicted and uncertain one begging for clarification of what it is really that they wanted to know.
