This work holds many levels of experience at once, as it traces the contours of my white, 1st generation Lebanese, Diaspora Armenian, rural Texas, working class, educated selfhood. It illuminates the stories that comprise my experience through humor, open-heartedness, and a resilience borne of refusal. As I share, I pour Karo syrup – a key ingredient in Texan and Lebanese desserts – over my body.

"After visiting Earth on a whim, a young space traveler finds a planet empty of people. She happens upon a strange contraption that shows her images of what the planet used to be like, and through this viewfinder, we see Earth as it was juxtaposed against Earth as it is: abandoned by people, but still full of amazing things. A wordless adventure with a subtle message about stewardship"-- Provided by publisher.
