Series
Notes from places connected to family history, held less by what survives in writing than by what the buildings themselves have kept. An ancestral hall, a river renamed on an old chart, a house that outlasted everyone who lived in it.
Photographs from the ancestral hall and a reflection on why ritual is often understood only after leaving home.
A note on Pedro Reinel, Rio Formoso, and the strange feeling of finding Batu Pahat on a sixteenth-century Portuguese chart.
