OCEAN – at the edge my creative process

The Singing Buildings Project – Launch

It’s time to have an “influence”…
I want to preface this post by saying that I in no way am pretending to understand the pain, grief, suffering, or trauma experienced by victims of racially charged crimes and years of oppression… Last week I asked a question about “influencers” on my Instagram.
