What happens when you remove "I" from a conversation about individuality and collectivism? What starts as a philosophical, although somewhat experimental, inquiry into utopia and egoless society gets shapeshifted by the feminine — revealing that the very language we use to frame the question was never designed to hold the answer. What if there is no need to choose “either-or”? What if we are capable of holding space for both polarities at the same time? What utopia can emerge then?
