“In search of the past, I have travelled halfway around the globe, from Canada to Afghanistan, from a world of peace, material comfort and technology to a country that lives in the shadow of its history – a place whose only relevance to the rest of the world depends on the value and extent of a Westerner’s life and “security”. It may be illusionary, self-indulgent or bizarre, but I still think digging into the grave of history might lead to an understanding of the present.”
