Remains

From ancient statues at the Amman Citadel to the spray-painted walls across the city, I confront the feeling of being an outsider in my own home. Having left Jordan at nineteen and returned with the eyes of someone who has lived in the diaspora, I find myself navigating a space that no longer feels like mine. Everywhere I look, I see a piece of a disjointed relationship between past and present, family and self, home and the feeling of never fully being at home.
