“I pray that my home is no longer a prison. I pray that the mediterranean sea is no longer a mass grave. I pray that the children of Gaza can live long and beautiful lives. That they can swim in the sea and the only thing that rains from the sky is water from the clouds above. I pray that hunger is no longer a default for so many people across the globe.

Ik hoop namelijk dat ik zoals nu, goed voel met de mensen om me heen en op een positie zit waarbij ik dankbaar kan zijn met alles wat ik heb. Ik geloof er, (ik denk, ik. Ja ik) geloof dat de mensen het goede voor elkaar hebben. Ook al zijn we zo erg gepolariseerd en van elkaar verschillend, hoop ik, ja in 2050 dat wij in een betere situatie leven als nu.” “Everytime I think of the future I can’t help but think of the present, as the future doesn’t really exist unless we incarnate it. So the future is really much conditioned by our choices.” “Time is all relative, it goes in geometric process — we can have tremendous changes in 5 years from now...” “By the year 2050, may we all recognize our oneness and live by it.”

‘ 2050 ’ is only 24 years away. Over the course of a year, I’ve recorded friends, family, acquaintances — many of whom have hosted me in various ways over a transient past few seasons — on their premonitions, anxieties, and hope for the future. In collecting and collaging voices across worlds, one singular voice of the eternal seems to emerge in a universal prayer.
This record is a letter to the future.
‘ 2050 ’ was included in exhibition The Dance of Life, and broadcasted within a listening room of the PALLAS Annex, 1117 Geary St. San Francisco CA. 94109. On Jan. 1, 2026, it aired internationally on Radio Alhara, Bethlehem.
