The festivity can be experienced both from afar and in intimate proximity, in the same way that Images Festival’s endeavours, anchored in the organization's visions and mandates that still hold my sanity intact, have been with me. Whether I’m far from home or temporarily rooted in the city called Tkaronto, the conversations, discussions, and conscientious trajectories that Images cultivates continue to resonate within my own path as an artist. They ground me in what must be considered essential to life and to the ways I conceive and perceive life. I believe this is what it feels like to carry things forward in their flowing yet respective connectivity.
