The World of Tropes

“The World of Paths”

(one-of-a-kind edition, featuring original marginal illustrations; 56 pages, 28×21, 2024)

Every day, each of us faces a hundred choices, and there is no such thing as a “good” or “bad” choice. Each choice simply creates a different life—a unique, singular world. Yet every life is worth living, and every path is worth walking. Every day, I make choices—for myself and for that boy who is only thirteen. The world of his path is unique and full of discoveries. Whenever I guide him, I am plagued by doubts. Looking at the experiences of successful people, I wonder: is their path truly right for him, or should he follow his own instincts? The nature of his mind will instinctively tell him where to go; my role is simply to offer support without judgment, to let go, and to allow him to move forward on his own. The world of the path is about movement, searching, and choosing. Finding one’s path is important, but the search itself is constant—and while you search, you live. A path turned inward leads to self-discovery; a path turned outward leads to understanding others. This project is an immersion into the realm of choice, fear, and apprehension; it is a quest—a search for a way forward—born of boundless care and deep love.
