We must believe it’s true

A search for meaning amidst the spiraling chaos of loss, conflict, and existential dread. This work explores art's expressive urgency and its ability to effect both incremental and profound change.  Much of the inspiration for this work came from the music—Luciano Berio's "Sinfonia" is a collage of Symphonies past, from Mahler to Stravinsky to Ravel—layered amidst a swirling text from Beckett's play, "The Unnameable".  We hope to discover that even unquantifiable expressions of beauty and intimate moments of connection can create ripples of influence that extend far beyond our perception.
