"Ne cherche pas les rรฉponses, qu'elles viennent d'elles-mรชmes, comme des fruits mรปrs. Le travail, la vie, et tout ce que tu fais, ne sont pas lร pour รชtre complet. Il faut aimer, ร l'intรฉrieur de la forme, l'inachevรฉ. Que tout ce que tu fais soit toujours suspendu, qu'il n'y ait pas de fin. Il y a quelque part dans l'inachevรฉ un sens qui ne peut pas รชtre dรฉcouvert avant le temps. Le temps seul saura t'apporter ce que tu dรฉsires."

"Do not seek the answers, let them come by themselves, like ripe fruits. Work, life, and everything you do, are not meant to be completed. You must love, within the form, the unfinished. Let everything you do always be suspended, without end. Somewhere in the unfinished, there is a meaning that cannot be discovered until time. Only time will bring you what you desire."

Get Into: OYASOUND Podcast
Just finished bingeing all the episodes of the Oyasound Podcast hosted by Sabine Blaizin, what a gift! Iโm in love with this project and the invitation it offers to dive deeper into the collaborators, stories, histories, and connections to, from, and beyond Haiti and across the diaspora that shaped the album Tonight We Fly (Aswรจ A Na Vole) by Sabine Blaizin and Okai Musik.

The Dear Neighbor Project by Tiffany Baker
Created by Brooklyn-based artist Tiffany Baker, The Dear Neighbor Project is a multi-site mural installation that transforms the voices of Gowanus residents into public art, reflecting their personal experiences with neighborhood flooding.
As an artist with a studio based in Gowanus, I was honored to be interviewed for this project.
