In the maker’s own words
The moment I chose to stay in El Paso instead of leaving. Not the reasons I tell myself, but what I actually felt: the weight of the desert's patience, the smallness of trying to understand a thing by staying close to it instead of running from it or trying to break it open. What it looks like to choose building over speed, to let a place teach me instead of performing for it.What they set out to make · 4 August 2026
