“Jessie Montgomery’s haunting Peace was originally going to be entitled Melancholy, but she “didn’t want to be a downer for the people”. Reflecting many of our feelings, she says: “I’m struggling during quarantine to define what actually brings me joy. And I’m at a stage of making peace with sadness as it comes and goes like any other emotion. I’m learning to observe sadness for the first time not as a negative emotion, but as a necessary dynamic to the human experience.”
