“I had become so accustomed to being human, to living life as if I were an individual being, that when I created this piece I reminded myself over and over again that we are all a single loving connected mass constantly sharing air, water, light, shadows, and memories, like a school of sardines swimming together as one in the sea.”

“Everyday the dreams I dreamt were gradually influenced by the world of “Windswept Adan.” Not knowing whether I’m asleep or awake is a sign I’m on the right path.”

This was such an ethereal read.. the writing, the drawings, and the photography were all so, so inspiring and beautiful. I'm glad I read it, as it gave me clarity about the creation of the album.

Such a poetic and enchanting read. Every page is infused with light, magic, infinity, and love. Some passages moved me to tears. I’m in love with Ichiko Aoba’s artistry 🌊🦑🐚🪼🪸🐋🦞✨💫
