Details

Berhana is intentional about not only his craft but his identity too. At this moment, life is too short for him to not authentically bring himself into every facet and every detail of his vocation. On HAN, his last project, Berhana toys with his name Han forming a part of his artist and birth name. Across the subdued and kush amalgamation of Rs this form of perfectionism that Berhana says hes drifted away from in recent years. Everyone has experienced so much, the pandemic, real life a lot has changed. I dont feel as rooted to the concept of being perfect anymore, he shares. Now, Im living in seeing how things go, and how they are able to change over time. Precision is still a priority, but in the search for that, a wider and calmer approach to utilising that is now harnessed. Born adjacent to Atlanta, Georgia Berhana has always been raised in a community thats centered on his Ethiopian roots. From the matriarchs of his family, his paternal grandmother ushering him to learn his mothers tongue as she flew back and forth between there and the United States, to tight-knit clans of Ethiopian friends and a mother who was quick to remind him of the richness of his ancestry and people at large. Ive been so blessed to be raised by people so connected to where we come from, seeing that has always been super integral to who I am, Bethana notes. This maturation then, paired with his ancestral grounding, forms the impetus of Berhanas upcoming era a fusion of who hes been and who he has become through a quite natural metamorphosis and a more holistic sense of identity, culture, and manhood.
