Hi Readers!
It has been about a year since you came to know me. It all started when a strange kind of darkness spread across your world and my deep blue waters were left alone. With not much to do, I travelled to and from the poles for a while and finally decided to settle in the subconscious of an average person who’d met me in her dreams a few too many times.
We were mostly quiet during these meetings. She would ride on my back and try her best to remember the colors of the reefs that we would swim past. These colours were almost always forgotten as soon as she reached her destination (always the same one) and we would repeat the same ride every time we would meet again.
Over time, I became a space for her to share stories about her thoughts, the people around her, all the things they created, and the hopes they shared. Our rides were not as quiet anymore.
This one time, I decided to let her remember the details of our meeting together - the colours of the reef (that reminded her of art and expressions), the route we took (that reminded her of independence), and the endless ocean around us (that reminded her of unrestricted creativity). And well, that’s how I came to you - as a creative space for sharing your expressions and voices.
As my friend, you will receive occasional letters with stories about people, places and art forms that I have come across over the course of my journey in our world.
