Aisle lights flicker like low-budget auroras. A cart drifts alone, existential, beneath a sky of suspended rollback signs. Somewhere between frozen peas and bulk ramen, time folds.

We come together at Qaumajuq not as strangers, but as echoes—called into the same light. The space holds us gently, like breath caught in a moment of knowing. Each step on the stone floor feels like a continuation, not a beginning. Here, collaboration feels like remembering. Voices blend, not to rise above, but to ripple outward—soft, certain. We build together in fragments and rhythms, trusting the silence as much as the sound.
