Embracing Yin and Yang: Inside the Dark, Atmospheric Universe of HENKA
To create art that is true to who you really are, you need to harness the power of the yin and the yang. Realising that life is about balance. Understanding that it is impossible to enjoy and despair at what’s on either side of the scales without processing them equally. For every negative, there is a positive around the corner. There can be no light without the dark.
This is the place where HENKA exists. Formed in 2021 as the solo project of Cat Pereira, it is an outlet for expression that she has been working towards for over a decade. A dark, atmospheric universe where emotional depth exists at the forefront and harsh but vital lessons are learnt around every corner you turn. It is a project that understands that life will ebb and flow, and all you can do is follow and thrive in each wave that hits you. Without vulnerability, there can be no empowerment.
Working with everyone from As Everything Unfolds’ Jon Cassidy to Exist Immortal’s Meyrick de la Fuente, and even getting advice from SikTh’s Mikee Goodman along the way, her visions have transformed from dreams into realities. With a new chapter about to begin, taking everything that has come before and shifting it into a whole new gear, Cat cannot wait to share her uniquely ambitious vision with the world.
