in the midst of the lockdown, the radio became the only link to the outside world for many, a beacon of hope amidst silence. i couldn't disregard the preexpenditure of effort in setting up the broadcast, nor could i overlook the importance of each disclosure that came across the airwaves. it was as if the whole community had gathered to redo the fabric of our connections, one radio wave at a time, ensuring that even in isolation, no one was truly alone.
