"Light is meaningful only in relation to darkness, and truth presupposes error. It is these mingled opposites which people our life, which make it pungent, intoxicating. We only exist in terms of this conflict, in the zone where black and white clash."

My Books
I created and curated the art and poetry in this anthology to show my journey through different experiences in romance and relationships and to highlight what I learned about myself in the process and in hindsight. The theme that came to light was how I've learned to love throughout my life - loving others but always loving myself and recognizing my own value and worthiness.

Some rather tumultuous times and abrupt changes in my life led to me having to be incredibly, incredibly present and self-aware when it came to my emotions, how I was relating to myself and others and how I was going to choose to move forward in the world. There is so much joy and so much pain, simultaneously and inevitably. Throughout the creation of this show, I felt as though I was breaking myself open over and over and over again - pouring out the past to make room for whatever comes next.

Dormant |
I'm trying (and failing) to write reflections and streams of consciousness that don't include an ounce of you..
