It is a love letter to self, to those who are pondering ‘queerosities,’ to those who wake to the buildings of their dreams. It is both the journey and destination to how whole-hearted authentic living cultivates community and champions creativity.” The book includes imagery and words that are inspired heavily by Sinixt Territory area.
