This is us, Elena and Daniela, Daniela and Elena. we are sisters we share the same mother and the same father, we shared a room and a house, we share clothes and we have the same height and feet. this is what we do, we rebuild on each others work, we share our sources, we rename our names. we trust each other, we inspire each other. Inspiration. we are all one as we are all millions, there is a need to understand each other, or maybe, to feel each other, to connect to stop getting in each others way. inspiration, you are my inspiration, you move me towards invention, chance, change. you inspire me. we inhale each others ideas, let them come into our bodies to exhale newness, freshness, togetherness. we are two as we are one, community. fellowship, a circle. identity, archive. we look into ourselves to find resources. there it is, a word, a meaning a collection of meanings. Daniela has an Instagram account where she posts 1sec videos and uses the autoplay feature of the app to activate them as loops; Daniela takes lots of videos for different reasons and has them archived on her cellphone, from those videos Daniela takes little fragments and uploads them to the app to make the loops. Elena is a very good editor and composer, she came with the idea of using the loops and making them into a song, she had to record her cellphone screen while using the Instagram app to get the sound and image as a loop, with this videos she made the final composition called: 'cultureisbussines the opera loop song'. we worked together in the process, along, we talk to each other about the meaning of doing this and the feelings while doing it, we give each other space to work knowing that there is always a place where we both meet. we talked about building, we built; future, the UNSEEN. possibility. there is a need to be together, we mean together as acknowledgment of existence; reality, realities. there are lots of truths and it is important to stand for your believes, this is our truth: community, building, possibility. maybe this war is about truths, the unseen. possibility. build your ideas, your freedom, build new meanings, not for another day but for today, get together with other people, erase the line of difference, learn to share. a community is built by different things and persons, give space to difference, to other realities by doing this you will find trust, reconciliation, respect, possibility. we are a collective, HNAS.
