This was an extraordinary day in what has been an extraordinary time working with @missSukiChan & team on #Conscious. It wasn’t easy, but it was so worth it. 👇🏽
If someone had told me back in 2020 - after my first audio interview with Anil Seth - that he would one day re-enact his memories of his mother in hospital, I wouldn’t have believed it. I don’t think he would have, either.
