I want to tell you about this because it’s important to me.

Architecture of Shadows came out of the last twenty-five years of my life. Not in an academic way, but in a lived one. Walking into places people don’t like to talk about. Sitting with people while they shared experiences they had carried quietly for years.

Over time, you start to notice patterns. Not answers, but shapes. The way memory, trauma, and place overlap. The way certain things linger.

This book is one of the most important contributions I’ve made to this work. Not because it has conclusions, but because it brings those patterns together carefully, after years of listening.

I didn’t write it to convince anyone of anything. I wrote it because after that much time, it felt like something that needed to be shared honestly.

If you’ve ever gone through something you couldn’t explain and didn’t know where to put it, this book was written with you in mind.
