Authenticity is not measured by the magnitude of your wounds, but rather by the willingness to honor, love, and show compassion for our humanity through them.

(as above)

the woman.

i am a shapeshifter, a storyteller, an artist, and a lover in all its multitudes and forms. a child and student of the living-dying (1)— constantly transforming with the beginning of each season. an alchemist of my aching. the chrysalis and the butterfly. the stillness and the storm. girlhood is a spectrum, pretty is destructive (2) — ruin, rising, remembrance, and rot. running from the cradle to the coffin— rooting in the spectral, and shaking hands with the obscene. i’m not your mothers’ maiden, i am fractal of their universe and the heaviness of their skeleton.

are you

the magic.

radical & absurd imaginations

to exist on the margins is a testament to being able to hold many and all complexities. perhaps, not all the holding we do is woven from string; perhaps, some of it is woven in a web, in our psyche and consciousness. in R&AI we explore what it means to weave and speculate simultaneously: the constructs and the lived experience, the training and the embodiment, the teachers and the students. to imagine a future of coexisting, we must first define — the radical and the absurd. how big are your dreams? how loud is your imagination? and how do you want to leave the world you entered?
