Reflecting on the essence of his new project, Jenkins shares the following statement:

“The Patience” embodies my unwavering dedication to effecting change in my circumstances. It stems from a place of consistent effort, where inevitably one reaches a juncture of waiting. It’s that point in our journey, regardless of its duration, where we must surrender control as the necessary elements for progress no longer lie within our grasp. I consider this period a pivotal time when the unseen forces begin to take shape—when our muscles strain and heal, and epiphanies strike unexpectedly without any intentional artistic pursuit. It is during these moments that I find myself most deeply frustrated by the virtue of patience.

This forthcoming body of work authentically embodies the essence of that frustration.
