mount ararat, where noah’s ark is said to have landed. one of the most ubiquitous symbols in armenian culture, history and modern society. visible from everywhere, but located beyond the turkish border we cannot cross. a symbol of longing for the part of you that has been stolen by the people who still deny your existence. a constant reminder everywhere you look, but you cannot touch it. and you cannot detach yourself to stop the pain, because it is you. and so, you embody it.
