Ben Hailu

what is beyond what one’s current perception of self and surroundings? how does one deal with the cognitive dissonance when adjusting? where does one go when wanting to go back?

worked with big man @544ake as a FAD for his short film “Paradiset Vid Hennes Fötter”, released earlier this year. thankful for being a part of this!

while the origins to this story are rooted in a long-lived hadith, i felt parallels between this and the allegory of the cave.
