An ordinary room in Cairo. A man, now alone. An assemblage of household objects that aren't so inanimate.

The objects we own bear witness to our secret lives. In We Are All Things, a quiet room becomes a noisy backdrop to heartbreak and other forces of sentience. Here, pillows bemoan lost touch, lamps flicker with the memory of darkness, and the stereo coos a forgotten melody. This illustrated prose poems marries word and image in a song about longing and the nature of existence.

Equal parts Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Yahyā al-Tāhir 'Abdalla, We Are All Things is the first collaboration between Ganzeer and Elliott Colla.
