Déclaration de l'artiste sur son travail : "Two creation stories Neil gú! atool'eix_ ka at tooshí yeisú. Come home, we are still singing, we are still dancing This song carries the rhythm of two creation stories, my unborn son’s heart beating inside his mother's womb alongside her heart, and a field recording of a Tlingit totem carving with several adzes swinging in polyrhythm carving while continuing culture. Composed and recorded for her (the mask), to comfort and recall. A distant but living home is near, we are... here. She (the mask) will know these familiar frequencies and rhythms our hearts and tools bring. She knows the rhythm of our adzes, the first sound felt, in her creation. Rhythm like tides and seasons continues to be our connection to one another. Our drums still sing , we still dance today. Come home."
