/// To give witness to and recognize value of the facets of the self in all their prismatic glory. /// These hand-cut collages—created with found photos, printed text, and transparent tape—focus in on the GHOSTS aspect of this issue’s theme. In conjunction, they work together to weave a loose narrative exploring my move back to my hometown—an experience that left me reckoning with the specter of my past, and fumbling toward some sort of future. |
