The Last Utopia

A long-term project about my son Tennbo’s childhood— his imagination, playful worldview, and ongoing discovery of self.

The title, The Last Utopia, comes from one of his dozen sketchbooks and feels like an apt description for a time in our lives that is ever so brief and which we can only do our best to recall and reimagine, a place that no longer exists because we are no longer those small persons, a private and inaccessible idyll flourishing in shadows, nostalgia, and gentle, but ever-evolving memory.
