A member of the prominent Carleton family, he balanced his artistic ambitions with a keen sense of social responsibility, often highlighting marginalized voices in his work. His travels across the continents not only informed his artistic practice but also enriched his understanding of global interconnectedness, which he masterfully conveys in this book.

Carleton'Äôs unique perspective encourages us to appreciate the manifold influences of diverse cultures, making it an essential read for wanderlust souls and art enthusiasts alike.
