I AM BECAUSE WE ARE.

“So for us, how do you keep sane when everyone around you has gone mad? So the best thing I could do during this time was show up to the studio. With heavy heart. And a lot of anger. And for me, it was like, how do I pull out the beauty and the sort of, ascending quality that we all have within us during times of trauma and trial.” —CASSI NAMODA, ARTIST
