A note, partly to myself, shared with people I love as a way to say
Happy New Year, I appreciate you, I miss you, and I love you.
Each second is a new moment to see, learn, accept, choose, teach or give love. I hope to remember the love I have for myself. That I don’t hide it too often, as I am quite forgetful when I want to be. I hope it finds me or calls for me if I or it is lost inside of me. Even then I hope I always realize it is here
within me.
I choose to take life lovingly, in that I think there’s fun to be had…no need for constant heaviness…. I’m the past inception, current continuation, and future evolution of a very gassy star ;) That sounds light enough to me.
I set off to Berlin over 2 years ago now…to officially relocate. After spending time between Berlin and Amstardam, I am in the process of making a home in the Netherlands. I am grateful to be blessed where I am and as I am today. In this 2 year transition, I’ve lost touch with much and am slowly connecting and reconnecting with more. In this past year, I surrendered to singing my first full concert (of my own music). I had my first official Berlin art exhibition experience with The Fairest. And I contributed to the landscape of Berlin Art Week with a 3-week durational performance installation (including a printed spread in issue #71 of SLEEK magazine sponsored by UGG…who by the way, at the same time was releasing a TELFAR collaboration and recently released a campaign with CHER lol so basically in my mind my newest artistic self was blessed by a cosmic alignment between TELFAR and CHER…eternally black and fabulous, no? haha)
I am focusing on many meditative and gentle creations…not necessarily because it is my sole experience or input, but because I believe in their transformative powers combined with my soul, character, and ability. The music composition above is one of a few pieces I am working to turn into a live orchestral experience…and installation (In the spirit of a sound bath or gong ceremony). The image featured is a photomontage created in 2021, which goes by many names. It can be experienced in its original physical form or digitally…and there are still limited edition prints available ranging from 23cm x 23cm to 100cm x 100cm.

I wish you health, balance, love,
kindness and peace with every new day and new year.
Warmest of hugs,
Nahir Francis
