Acceptance, patience, and love that stayed. You didn’t just watch DADA, you held on to it. You spoke about it, revisited it, defended it, and made it your own. That kind of connection cannot be designed or marketed. It can only be felt.”The director went on to explain how this acceptance had reassured him of his goals. “Even today, when someone tells me DADA meant something to them, I’m reminded why I chose this path.
