Zaleekhah walks along the Chelsea Embankment in 2018, her feet carrying her through a drizzly London morning. Clutched in her hands is a damp cardboard box containing a mishmash of items: books, a china teapot, mismatched cups, clothes, and a Tiffany-style lamp. The rain, soft and steady, doesn’t seem to bother her as she walks in the cool air, her chestnut curls and deep brown eyes gleaming with a connection to her ancestors. As she moves past the elegant flats now overlooking the River Thames, she…

Her runs, an integral part of her life, have long been seen by her husband as a way for her to escape unresolved emotions from her past. The rhythm of her movements, while familiar, also brings a sense of distance…
