Cities in transition leave behind more than construction dust.
They leave questions.
What remains of identity
when the landmarks of childhood vanish?
How does one belong to a place
that no longer remembers its own name?
The stories in Between Concrete and Dust explore these questions through ordinary lives-
a man reflected in glass,
a child holding a lantern,
an old tree surrounded by cranes.
Each story stands alone, yet together they form a single landscape:
one shaped by migration, memory, faith, doubt, silence, and survival.
This is a book about the emotional architecture of modern life-
about the cracks that appear not only in walls,
but in the spaces between people.
