Names are not accidents. They carry weight. They carry stories. A name is a prayer, a wish, a hope that somebody whispered into the world.
Derek Walcott
Your Year of Signing Your Name. This is the year you stop letting good work go out into the world quietly, without you attached to it. The piece you have been carrying, the one you return to in odd moments and still feel something move in your chest when you do, finds its audience before summer ends. Because you decided it was ready, and that decision was itself the creative act. A collaboration in the autumn asks you to show up as the full version, the unedited one, and what you bring to that room shifts the temperature for everyone in it. Your presence has always been the work. The name signed at the bottom is the last thing to arrive. Sign it this year.
