My Nation:
THE TRAILS & TRIALS OF AN
ARMENIAN REPATRIATE
A lifetime spent searching for my own identity has led me to the discovery of history in the making.
Underneath each rock I turned lay more rocks, revealing the story of a people undefined in a modern age:
Armenians. This book explores the scope of a people who constantly resist assimilation, defy the
expectations of failure, and triumph in the face of their own doubt.
Having grown up in the Armenian American community and repatriating to Armenia, I have had the
opportunity to visually capture the advancement of Armenian influence in the US, as well as the
simultaneous development of a new democracy in the homeland, pulling out of economic collapse and
exceeding all expectations of development. It's the personal story of my life and my nation through the
lens of my camera.
