Unity in Every Breath, Community in Every Pose
Sama (सम) is a Sanskrit term translating to equal or even: The root of the concept of samatva, which means equanimity. Samya (a variant of Sama) means equal consideration towards all beings.
SAMA, a reconfiguration of the letters of MAAS, Melissa's inherited familial name. Like most family names, these become perhaps the single most identifiable part of our identities; by breaking these letters up and rearranging them into SAMA a singular point of identity opens for a space of openness, equality, compassion and empathy where individuality becomes a product of community.
