    HALF WAIF | Navigating grief and sadness through the transformative abilities of art

    “When we know grief, when we touch loss, it just puts into relief even stronger what it means to feel joy and to feel love.” Nandi Rose – who creates music under the name Half Waif – believes in the transformative abilities of art to give shape to the intangibility of sadness and loss. Writing from a place of solitude and self-reflection, Rose is able to pour the vulnerability and afflictions of the human experience into her music and turn this source of pain into a celebration of life. Currently, the Hudson Valley-based artist is working on her sixth album, following the surrealist record ‘Mythopoetics’ (2021). Her new work is going back to basics, bringing in guitar and live performances while stepping away from more electronic sounds, and tapping into feelings of grief and loss brought to the forefront in Rose’s life after experiencing a miscarriage last year. Rose's interest in making music stems in part from a place of needing to unveil her personal sadness in an encapsulated and isolated space, but even more so from the desire to celebrate the ability to share even our most painful experiences with the world and connect with one another through them. On this episode of Flashlight Podcast, we explore the balancing of dichotomies in Rose’s creative processes, her upcoming album, and using the transformative powers of art to navigate grief, loss, and sadness.
