Jan 20th, 2009 marked the inauguration of Barack Obama, the 44th President of the United States and its first ever president of African-American descent. There is a collective sense of celebration, of expectation and the assertion for the need for change.
It is a lot to put on one person. The world awaits for the fulfillment of promises, all the while grinding on against the backdrop of war, refusals of compromise, continuous suffering.
Regardless of whether Obama would really bring the much wanted change, he represents the community's ability to do so. We can hope.
“Our power alone cannot protect us, nor does it entitle us to do as we please,” Obama said. “Our power grows through its prudent use; our security emanates from the justness of our cause, the force of our example, the tempering qualities of humility and restraint.”

Niflheim represents both light and darkness, of the celebration and distaste of life, of musings and incoherent thought. It is an outlet for personified angst and pessimism with chuckfuls of laughter and smiles.
It is Taka's way of drawing out all the little disturbing thoughts giving rise to nightmares, a way to self reflect, a way to seek solace.
