2021 - From the beginning

Is there a true beginning? Perhaps we are constantly tracing multiple and dynamic starting points. Perhaps it is simply an imperishable and ceaseless narrative where everyone enters and exits, completing their cycle. If so, permanence is transient. It is about the role we occupy, the paths we inhabit, the patterns we respect, and the habits we repeat. In the beginning, we are only one, minimal, almost imperceptible; but we can possess a voracious force, become enormous, and reverberate through the narrative, generating large-scale changes.

From the beginning, we question, we pause, and we persist from renewed perspectives.
