I was interested in speaking to Jessica because of her work with grief. Grief unites us in a shared humanity because we all have to deal with loss. But many of us also find it very hard to grieve. And I think part of the reason is because we don’t actually have the words or the vocabulary to express how we feel.

I suspect our fear of death is very closely linked to our inability to process grief. It is with this in mind, that I was drawn to Jessica’s work because she helps individuals process grief through the music of a piano duet – a pre-verbal space that isn’t constrained by the barriers or language.
