Buried

Masks chained on halfway through long form facial surgeries. Warehouses full of old hardware, like gliders they would jump off of cliffs with, and boats that have separate slots to keep dead fish.

Acoustics

Cleaning the dirt off of door frames with dampened paper towels just to witness all the build up over time. It takes drops of blood on the white floor to stop her from just simply leaning against the mirror. There is no one here, and the sounds of footsteps echo against the drywall even though […]
