Resilient Paradise examines the resiliency of the human condition. The work celebrates the persistent pursuit of joy and our headstrong ability, in spite of struggle and times of darkness, to challenge melancholy by deliberately manifesting happiness — often leaning on the people around us and the small, simple pleasures to keep us pushing forward.
