Unfolding is a collection of journal entries that revealed the ever-changing nature of peace to me. As someone who has dedicated my life to peacebuilding, I committed to questioning the meaning of peace regularly – not only in my professional work, but also personally, and in relation to the collective. Similar to a gratitude journal, I got into the habit of recording and reflecting on peace. This practice helped me to start approaching the world with my idea of peace at that moment rather than focusing on what appears to be the absence of it out there.
