In Sync with These Past Few Years, 2022
- With COVID so prevalent in our lives, it was hard for it to not find its way into my work. The first time I thought of the social effects of the pandemic, I thought of clapping and how much it united us and how little we thought of it prior.
Apple Cake, Pearl Press, September 2020
- I wrote this piece to honor my great aunt who passed. She was a wonderful baker and a lot of her recipes were inspired by my grandmother who passed when I was young. Apple cake was made very often for holidays and get togethers. I worried with my great aunt and grandmother no longer living, this tradition would not carry on. I made an apple cake for my great aunt's shiva to make sure these traditions stay put.
On Femme, Waif Magazine, February 2020
- I had always struggled with my view on myself regarding femininity and sexuality. This piece takes the shape of a train of thought and where my mind settles when I am within my mind thinking about how I appear.
