Esra started this project with the idea of giving back to society as a 50th birthday gift during the uncertainty of a global pandemic. Drawing daily and sharing on social media as an invitation for all to enjoy the process of drawing and to share wellbeing through art.
"The series of paintings called Sail To Hope, by Esra Kizir Gokcen, provide a backbone of inspiration
for the first disc’s music. The subject of journeying into the unknown, as well as the influence of Turkish rhythms,
create the background atmosphere whilst maintaining the spaciousness and freedom for the jazz soloists.”
