“Hillsides incorporates multiple themes, one that happens to be my undying obsession for the outdoors and how the woods of Northern Michigan has always been an outlet – an escape from the overwhelming day-to-day thoughts. And, another theme being that of anxiety, the black dog that endlessly follows you around.”
“Puts you in a place that seems to be an alternate reality at times. Essentially that no matter where you go, complete escape is only temporary. It’s a feeling that constantly weighs on your whole existence, trying to pull you back down over and over again when all you can really do is strive for balance, some form of self-consistency.” – Hillsides
