While attending an Artist Residency in Finland, Felicia encounters a young boy dining solo at a local burger joint. She's not sure why but it throws her into a panicked frenzy. Where are his parents, family, or friends, and why is he alone?
Moved by this experience, she realizes her reaction is the result of childhood trauma and the effects of American violence -- where fear is deeply ingrained in our culture. Through self-reflection in the world's safest and happiest country, she looks back on her own dining experiences and how our nation's collective (and often violent) past continues to shape her life.
“Felicia takes an ordinary event, something we can all relate to, and makes it extraordinary in its analysis of humankind and our sense of self in place.”
- Shannon Genereau, Editor & Writer
“... expands an everyday incident into a philosophical and entertaining essay. Her curious and positive attitude towards new people and cultures is infectious.”
- Mirka Sulander, Author & Artist
