I have always been fascinated by cities. Through the years, I have understood more clearly that this fascination has stemmed not only from urban fabric itself, in its collections of constructed forms, solids, and voids, but rather from the fact that cities are inhabited. They are narrated. They are lived. They are experienced.
Urban settlements are our common home. They are inseparable parts of our story - of our multiple stories, of our multiple truths. They are the sites and theaters of our struggles, our conflicts, our reconciliations, and of our greatest cultural achievements. Cities are mirrors of our humanity, at the same time as cities are often mirrors of our many brutal inhumanities.
The fragments of urban life and experience that form this collection should be considered as testaments to our interconnected world of multiple cultures and identities, as confirmations of our shared humanity, and as promises, contrary to the winds of isolationism and hate that are howling loudly, that our spirit of mutual support, respect, and love will prevail.
