Volume 4

(PUT RIGHT DATE)

The Awakening answers this volume’s questions with one word, Energy. The volume is the encapsulation of etherial vibrations and prayers to capture just a momentary glimpse into the creative process. What more can we say? A crowd favorite? We found the perfect model? The planets aligned? Something in all those energy drinks with the male cows on them? Shhiiiii whatever it was, it gave birth this Volume 4. It gave birth to Quixote, Q. Before we realized his purpose, or his potential. He came with a bang.

I have this strange feeling maybe recollection, that this volume was about taking off the mask. Funny enough, I think we did the exact opposite of that. Again, the motif appears. Ever present, breathing down our neck. Masks.
