    About this ebook

    Here is a journey of the self and political reflection. The poetry and artwork asks questions about where we come from, on a personal level and of humanity. The artist delves into deeper truths, concerning identity and finding balance within yourself and that of the world; weaving through mythologies, clichés and bibliologies.
