The photographer’s journey to another place and another time, where she makes an attempt to piece together an image of a familiar stranger—her long-lost father. Markosian was separted from him for nearly two decades.
In this voyage of self-discovery, the artist touchingly renders her longing for connection to a man she barely remembers, who asks her: “Why did it take you so long?”
