about

guesst: i’m non-binary. “perception” reminds me that i owe no responsibility to anybody to fit neatly into their perception of my gender. i exist to challenge colonial expectations of gender and being and to reconnect with the spectrum of knowing that my ancestors practiced.

Barren: 'perception' was heavily fueled by the constant overwhelming sense that I was losing myself in the last year. guesst, one of the very few artists I admire, unlocked my turmoil with their pure, unrefined passion🖤

lyrics

If I'm so tired how can I resist to sleep
A mind on fire, feel it licking at my sheets
I place the coins atop my eyes and beg for peace

Hear them conspiring a lie: I'm incomplete
Feeling the eyes on me I cannot seem to eat
I'm reaching for the phone again take anything to fill my head

I want to know
What I already know that I'm not for you
An artwork that unfolds not in control of
Our reflection
Only here to train perception
And I'll learn the lesson

I want to know
What I already know that I'm not for you.
An artwork that unfolds not in control of
Our reflection
Only here to train perception
And I'll learn the lesson
