Benjamin Barret Niznik - Shadowkind

SHADOWKIND is an imagined word and world born from a multigenerational collaboration, featuring drawings and typesetting by son Benjamin Niznik and prose poetry by mother Candace Niznik. The work explores storytelling as a means of sharing perspectives and lived experiences, conveying urgent and intimate messages. Readers are invited to embark on their own exploration of lineage, forgotten ancestors, and the in-between spaces of time-those moments that precede one's own existence yet continue to shape identity and memory.
