“Domino” is a metaphor that encapsulates the intricate emotions experienced throughout one’s life and career. SAAY described it as a representation of the conflicting feelings of anticipation and anxiety that accompany the pursuit of success. This analogy resonates with many of us who strive for perfection, knowing that even a minor misstep can lead to a chain reaction of failures, much like falling dominoes.
SAAY’s decision to express these complex emotions through the concept of “DOMINO” is a powerful reminder of the universal nature of these feelings. Whether it’s in our personal lives or professional careers, we all experience the delicate balance of excitement and anxiety. By acknowledging and articulating these emotions, we can better navigate the path to perfection, understanding that setbacks are a natural part of the journey.

“’DOMINO’ represents the complicated feelings that have accumulated over the span of my life and career: anyone who yearns for success can experience conflicting emotions in the form of anticipation and anxiety. Working step by step towards perfection increases the excitement, but the fact that a single mistake can make everything crumble also increases apprehension, just like a domino. I felt I needed to express these emotions, for us; for me.” – SAAY explained
