“Gem”, revolves around my father’s upbringing in Afghanistan. From seeing the flourishing Land he grew up in fall to the ground to digging up a mass grave to find his brothers body in the night… he has seen far too much to be healthy. Although like a gem, he’s cut from a special cloth that blossoms to something beautiful. Chaos in the age of Beauty. Gem’s in the middle of nowhere.
