In her own words

The heart of Blairville

This project is the heart of Blairville. The four main characters are cracks in my soul, through which I work through things I had already partially forgotten or repressed.

From the pages of Botanink

There are two types of gardens

The first gardenWell-tended flower meadows, where everything grows and flourishes.

The second gardenOvergrown thickets, where every plant struggles for the last bit of sunlight.

“It took me a while to realize that the first garden was where I was meant to bloom, but unfortunately, it was the second where my roots were planted.”

Torn from the manuscript

Pressed between the pages

“You will be their death. You will be the death of the whole town.”

He had to break me first before he could bend down to pick up my shards and carefully put them back together. And I didn’t know how many more times I would be able to break until it was over. Until not even he could fix me again.
