For more than 30 years visiting my family in Athens, through the same large kitchen window overlooking an expansive metropolis, I've observed a compelling array of ephemera:  nuances of shifting sky, feverishly-flickering lights, and bustling thoroughfares. Anchored by the mythological wonder of the ancient Acropolis, this view enchanted my child mind. Often lost in reverie of milestone journeys to Greece in youth while being raised among two disparate cultures, this vista emerged into a curious duality: intriguing foreign landscape (external) vs comfortably-familiar novelty (inside/safety). Like foreigners to our own pasts, nostalgia accrues as time's arrow progresses, punctuating its passage and our role as passengers through its irreversible flow.  This ongoing series serves as a personal visual metaphor conceptualizing life's welcome diversity while contemplating subconscious yearning for foundational balance.
