"The work of Mylod reveals to us, despite our segue to what many would say is a transhuman world, our dreams are what continue to sustain us. What Mylod's work leads us to is an awe of that imaginative, sensory perception which makes us ask questions of ourselves and each other. Perhaps this confrontation of ontology is necessary when challenging our conditions." -Mauve Perle Tahat, Founder & Editor of TERSE. Journal |
