I can create a fantasy, but it will last only briefly.
A moment of glamour but we deserve so much longer.
And I can take these objects, disperate on their own, but together they see you and they are me.
And isn’t it amazing how all these layers of fake can reveal your truest desires.
I’m not entirely sure that if I knew what I wanted I’d be able to ask for it.
But one thing I know for certain, if there is any justice in this world before I die I will get to let out at least one blood curdling scream from the top of a hill.

Maximalist and attention-grabbing, Sada’s work treads the line between optimism and pessimism, inciting laughter alongside making you wonder what exactly you are laughing at.
