Chihiro @chihiroplayspercussion and I met a year ago while we were working for the @uscensusbureau during the pandemic.
.
At work, we weren't allowed to have cell phones, pencils, basically have nothing with us, because of the super strict privacy policy.
.
We were so creative. During a quick break, Chihiro would tap on the desk and pressed keyboard to create beats, other coworkers joined by dancing and singing - then we would quickly go back to our desks.
.
It was such an incredible experience in very weird circumstance. I wanted to create something with her as I always wanted to put music in my paintings, not knowing what will happen.
.
This is the result of our first #collaboration. This is about a lost composer Willie Fullerton Jr., and his lover Percy Anderson who was a stage designer and painter. It’s about home, family, love, inclusion, struggle, and art.
