Description

Infused with the cacophony of everyday existence and the neon dance of dreams, this intricate debut by Khadijah Queen channels the unbroken murmurs between body and spirit, methodically traversing an uncertain reality on a path that moves beyond the edges of words. In deference to Plato, Cratylus and Central American rituals, Conduit exposes a tender core, fearlessly pulling away the roughened muslin of our shared human skin.
