About

This book captures the artist’s introspective journey, exploring the origins of his identity as a son, a man, and a father. His photographs circulate the themes of abandonment, absence, blame, and acceptance. By re-enacting the last family trip he had with his father before he left, the author reconstructs and reaffirms the significance of early relationships, which were essential for his development as a man and later as a father. At the central to the imagery is the monolith, a mysterious and solitary stone that symbolizes resilience and continuity, connecting personal experiences to broader cultural and psychological themes.
