Ka Baird on their multi-dimensional meeting of streams

“Often associated with the period between death and rebirth, the tibetan word bardo is more broadly defined as any ‘gap’ or ‘in-between’ experience, with the ‘life in-between’ being the bardo we are all currently traversing. Bearings proposes ongoing states of displacement and precarity—the suspension of one’s bearings—and the search for a foothold within this constant state of flux. In other words, we are always in a bardo because impermanence never takes a break.”
