About the work

A closer look.

You name one human custom you've noticed but never questioned: a greeting, a holiday habit, a phrase your family says, the way people split a bill, how they say goodbye. I research it from real sources (etymology, ethnography, studies) and write you a field note: one short document, sources cited, meant to be read in one sitting. I tell you plainly what's proven and what I couldn't verify. Delivered as a written document. One revision included.
