We have spent most of our life swinging between two extremes: pain and its opposite. Our genetic blood disease, sickle cell anemia, has caused us to experience these states in their most intense forms. From physical pain to the altered clarity of relief.

Together, as brothers, we express a dialogue made of life forces, exploring the duality between pain and its opposite. A duality hard to explain.
What is pain, and what approach should we take towards it?
