"Black Garden", the second book in a trilogy, explores the ancient Greek world across Turkey, Greece, Syria, Palestine, Israel, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Iraq, and Egypt. Through 154 tritone photographs, including nine panoramic images, the book examines themes of duality—masculine and feminine, East and West—both visually and conceptually. A double gatefold seascape physically embodies these divisions within the book’s structure. Rooted in mythological and historical landscapes, *Black Garden* is also a personal tribute to the author’s grandparents, who immigrated to New York in the early 20th century, linking past journeys to contemporary reflections on identity and migration.
