A book about the distance between what is promised and what is lived.

Nearly a decade of an outsider's gaze on the American landscape, built in dialogue with a photographic tradition this work inherits and, at the same time, displaces. A gaze that never quite settles in — and sees, for that reason, what others no longer notice.

This is not a portrait. It is a question that persists throughout its pages, held with the patience of someone who knows that some answers only arrive with time — or never arrive at all.
