This research portrays the inner quest of Ken Stoové, who feels a deep longing to travel to Suriname, the country where his grandfather and father took their first breaths. Although he has never been there himself, Suriname lives vividly in his imagination, shaped by stories, written accounts, and dreams. For Ken, the country symbolizes ancestry, identity, and a possible homecoming, but also uncertainty. He wonders whether he will find warmth and belonging there, or whether he will instead feel like an outsider, standing at the edge of his own origins.
For Ken, the journey may take on multiple meanings: a personal search for self-understanding, an exploration of culture and history, or an experience that defies clear definition. His interests range from Javanese history and untouched nature to politics, silence, and the invisible forces that connect people. Together, these elements form a complex weave of past and longing, within which Ken Stoové seeks to find his own place.
