{:en} Chapter 2: Roots Editor’s Note By Melda Sherman Living in Limbo is a narrative series adapted from true migration stories. This is not simply the story of one Adem or one David.   Adem’s journey carries traces of the real experiences of dozens of people who have traveled through Mexico in an attempt to reach the U.S. border.

But what if the very places that break us are also the ones that can set us free? What if, instead of hiding our scars, we learned to see them as art? “Cracks aren’t just marks; they’re where the light enters.” — Japanese Kintsugi Art What Is Kintsugi — and Why It Matters     Kintsugi is an ancient Japanese art form that repairs broken ceramics using gold, silver, or platinum.
