We left our woes behind, with only echoes of our previous lives remaining. Seeking continuation, time and refuge, attempting to survive our selves, our lives and our present locations.

I work to work out the turbulence that exists within me, I am healing myself and at the same time communicating an immense pain.

It is about falling, standing and attempting to survive it all. In the end we are all in exile, we are all just visiting and we all come to this earth alone and we leave alone. But while we are here we try so desperately to belong to some-thing, to somebody and to somewhere.

Metamorphosing and transforming for the means of surviving it all, our foundations lay, but our houses have burned to the ground. Building castles in the sky, for a species that cannot fly, brick by limb we tear it down. Thinking that we are moving forwards, yet moving backwards all along.

Gajar woman and golden toys, we wait for dawn…
