THE DETAILS.
"I'm not where I'm going,
but I'm not where I've been."
The Ascend derives its name from a Hebrew concept known as Aliyah.
Aliyah (Hebrew) Going up, elevation, ascent.
Meaning both to the physical ascent of one called upon to read the Torah publicly and to the spiritual uplifting associated with the reading. It also can mean to return to your home after a time of exile from your land of promise and prosperity.
What began in 2017 as a Pursuit of Happiness with the desire to examine how happiness is an inside job, morphed into The Ascend, a digital catalogue to document a journey of ascension, transition, and growth.
