En[LIGHT]enment [2025]

Welcome to the world of madness where nothing matters anymore.
Enlightenment is not a peaceful process. Enlightenment is a complete eradication of something we imagined to be true. It’s seeing through the facade of pretense. And quite often it is very messy and painful.

We made this while living through some major historical events. We survived the plague and the war. We did everything we could to survive and all while working on what truly mattered.
