Rhyuhn Green, The Architect

Rhychords was born in that space between expression and exile — a name given to the unspoken. It began as a pulse. Over time, it became the blueprint for a way of being. A quiet rebellion. All for culture.

That liminal space is for those who create because they must. The universal language. Structure as soul. A living archive of resonance and resistance.
