A landscape from my first emotional visit to the birthplace of my great great grandparents superimposed on an engraving of a landscape from the 19th century. Elders in my family told me an oral tale about how the first settlers of the area where my grandparents and their grandparents were born in are people who came from a region shown in the archive, hundreds of miles away. Currently both places are located in different regions of the country and hence, belong to two different ethnic groups. But they're interconnected in my mind and I feel part of my identity intertwined in both of them.
