"CAGE is a solo piece
on loneliness and consequences
on a personal level.
The concept for me started
as a state that voluntarily
one person chooses to exist in,
because something external
has happened,
which was shocking and has
changed his/her view of life.
CAGE is a celebration
of self worth after painful loss,
of emotional strength
to go through this difficult period,
resulting to physical strength.
CAGE is an honest piece about
all stages of loss, from shock,
to acceptance, to sadness,
to anger, to freedom from the past
and to discover love for the self
that has been forgotten.
All these emotions happen
in a non linear order,
interconnected
and happen at the same time,
or repeatedly within
each separate phase.
CAGE is about
accepting who we are no matter
what has happened to us,
or how it affected us.
It is a positive piece on moving
forward, feeling proud
and accomplished
after a personal struggle.
Ultimately,
CAGE is strength in the self
that once found,
cannot be forgotten."
