For most of my life, I shared most all that I had and what I was given. Because of this, I grew accustomed to not having, not solely owning, and always sharing. Once I departed my childhood home, I struggled with the transition from sharing to sole proprietor. Though I enjoy freedom and novelty of independence, I still have unsettled feelings that what I have isn’t mine—that everything is temporary. This work is an exploration of my understanding of what is mine, and what is momentary.

Deluge is the third book documenting the internal struggle to understand and define what home is, and what it means to have a home. This book explores the dimension of transience as an adult as a result of sharing a dwelling with others who are unattached and undecided about the future.
