This is a photograph of a textual document. The document consists of a personal narrative written on a textured, beige background with a prominent, bold title. This piece details an individual's journey from Eritrea to the United States, highlighting experiences of war, displacement, and adaptation to a new culture. The text provides an account of escape from conflict, the struggle to integrate into American society, and gratitude for new opportunities. The composition is structured with paragraphs forming a cohesive narrative, integrating personal reflections and cultural observations. The large bold text at the end of the second column, "Have You Seen Me?", appears to be part of a larger project involving public art and community stories.
