-Thich Nhat Hanh,\u00a0You Are Here: Discovering the Magic of the Present Moment<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n These simple words remind us of the only place where life truly unfolds \u2013 the present moment. It\u2019s easy to get lost replaying old stories or worrying about what\u2019s ahead, but right now holds all the possibility we need. This is where inspiration strikes, where ideas take shape, where hands begin the work of creation. As artists and makers, staying present can be a radical act\u2014one that clears space for curiosity, play, and growth. Let\u2019s pause, breathe, and step fully into this moment together.<\/p>\n Katja Farin<\/a> joined us to talk about\u00a0Tricksters<\/em><\/a>, their recent show at Gaa Gallery.

Over a period of months, she was filmed in various parts of her house doing all sorts of things.
