Elda Calrissian's album 'Path to Elda' reveals a deep, personal journey framed by her experiences as a transgender woman. The music, described as psychedelic and introspective, reflects themes of self-discovery. Through her EPs, she documents her transition, emphasizing the complexity and courage required for self-acceptance. Dreams and psychological insights play a significant role in her storytelling, symbolizing both hope and hidden fears. Calrissian illustrates her awakening moment and the barriers faced in accepting her identity against a backdrop of societal challenges.
"I had an awakening, a kind of come-to-Jesus moment, where I realized I needed to come out. It was very much an inevitability for me. Humans internally fight themselves."
"I think that I've had gender incongruence for a long time. There was a lot internally that was happening over the years when I was seeing how safe it was, because in a lot of ways, I never really had a safe environment to grow as a trans or a queer person."
