Eva (2024)

Eva is inspired by two quotes that I keep thinking about these days:

“The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born; now is the time of monsters”, Antonio Gramsci.

And,

“Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. Maybe many of us won’t be here to greet her, but on a quiet day, if I listen very carefully, I can hear her breathing”, Arundhati Roy.

I think a lot about revolution. I have for as long as I can remember. I’ve always known that it’s coming, because it has to. Because it can’t go on the same way any longer. Change is difficult, because it means that in order for something new to be created, something has to go.

Something has to die, to be blunt. You want more authenticity? That’s cool, just kill your pride. You want more intimacy? Great, get rid of your fear of abandonment. You want to be loved and accepted just the way you are? Awesome, stop trying to change other people. You want a healthy planet that supports human life? Love that for you, and you already know what you got to do. But will you?
