| In the summer of 2009, inspired by a cultural exchange program with the Caucasus, I traveled by land from Zurich to Baku and back. My objective was to document the journey with pen on paper. Though the culture exchange eventually did fail, the experience was intoxicating for my pen and I. The drawings capture the gradual change of scenes from Switzerland through the former Yugoslavian states, Bulgaria, Turkey, and Georgia before finally arriving in Azerbaijan (to travel back again just see the book backward). This is my statement to go out, see the world, and avoid airplanes. Take your time and enjoy the view on your train ride. |  |
