"O Painter! Travel a little, and you will understand that the world belongs to no one."

Travel teaches that no matter where you take root, you carry a strangeness within. You realize you haven't been truly "local" since the time of Adam; that on this earth, no one has priority—some just arrived a little earlier, others a little later.

On the Road is a profound travelogue covering Iran, Syria, and Egypt. Nazan Bekiroğlu walks through the streets of Damascus where Rumi lost Shams, passes the tombs of Saladin and Ibn Arabi, and travels toward Mount Sinai and the Dead Sea.

It is a journey of the soul as much as the body, exploring the transient nature of existence and the stories etched into the geography of the East.
