Lot Essay


The goal for me has always been to have an investment in and explore the world around me. I think about the world not just as a location of the self, it is not just you who is changing like your position relative to the sun. The world around us is constantly evolving as a larger narrative. There are different, even greater levels of reward, if you are willing to explore the broader picture.
—Rashid Johnson
