Our goal is to create conversation around the similarities between people from all different cultures of life based on what we consume and how it affects our creative output and processes.
Most discussions speak to where people are from; how their up bringing + environment influences what/how they consume. In turn questioning how that intake impacts their physical, mental, social and spiritual health.
The million dollar question always asked are:
Can you create better in comfort or in the struggle?
