Photographer Tony Dočekal’s book explores the tension between personal dreams and societal definitions of success, questioning whether true prosperity lies in wealth or deeper connections to community, nature, and self. For six years, he returned to the American West, a region mythologised for its freedom and opportunity, encountering people who defy the norm. The project became a journey of self-discovery, questioning who we are versus what others expect us to be. This series of photographs examines the relationship between material success and personal fulfilment, asking if community and self-awareness should be more essential to us than money and possessions.
