Sahand S. Kadir (SaQa)

Radio

two former bandmates reconvene after their band's breakup and the death of their drummer – exploring how shared fame can destabilise the foundations a friendship was built on – when there is such a thing as "too late."

Manic Depression

semi-clinical articles navigating the lived experiences and treatment methods of psychiatric conditions – tends to underscore the value of self evaluation and accountability – to accept and analyse oneself is to earn the luxury of movement and growth.

fragments, ideas, collages, sketches, poems – drawn from and inspired by the poetry of Emily Brontë, Christina Rossetti, Emily Dickinson, John Donne, Anne Sexton, and more lovely lovely artists – reckless format, low quality.

Letters to Nastasya

loveletter/music-review hyrbrids – partly inspired by Prince Lev Myshkin and Nastasya Filippovna's relationship in Fyodor Dostoevsky's The Idiot – demonstrates a love centred on attentiveness rather than possession, through listening to music together, sharing songs, and recommending albums – read oldest post first (on Park Hye Jin) for intended experience.

Art Portfolio
