The inspiration behind this project stemmed from a book I came across in class. The book aimed to question the nature of objectivity, and how to truly look at something objectively one has to also view themselves as the observer. As people we are dynamic, complicated and emotional creatures. So it’s no wonder why we naturally carry a difficulty to see things for what they truly are. 

This project is my attempt to look at my life and my own experiences from a birds eye view. For what they are. And in a way, how I saw and interacted with the world when I was a child. This is my reach toward optimism from the outside looking in. 

Peace & Thankyou to @iamsamadm and @elijahbanksy for lending their voices on the project.

BABEL TOWER

Donahoo’s Chicken

Thank you for hearing the masks I wear,
Every catalog, I’m everywhere.
From soul to doom, from pop to noise,
I play with shapes, I borrow voices.

You saw through the costumes, the shifting sound,
Under the makeup, I’m still around.
In Raw Truths, no shadows, no disguise,
Only me, uncovered, in your eyes.

Genres bend, I cross the line,
Characters speaking what’s not mine.
I love to vanish, become someone new,
But every layer still leads back to you.


You saw through the costumes, the shifting sound,
Under the makeup, I’m still around.
In Raw Truths, no shadows, no disguise,
Only me, uncovered, in your eyes.

I’m the actor, I’m the stage,
I’m the echo and the cage.
But when the curtain finally falls,
You’ll hear my voice, the truest call.

You saw through the costumes, the shifting sound,
Under the makeup, I’m still around.
In Raw Truths, no shadows, no disguise,
Only me, uncovered, in your eyes.

Thank you for staying, for standing near,
For catching the truth beneath the veneer.
I promise you this, when the masks are gone,
What remains is me—raw, alone.

Thank you (I wrote it for you, followers)
