August 2, 2020

power

What does it mean to be powerful as a woman? Lou Ramsay discusses the emotional and the acceptable power in a brilliant essay to open 2018. It comes from the small and it comes from the everyday, but mostly, it comes when it’s the beginning of the year and I’m starting to feel reborn. I […]

dissociation

This article originally appeared in Teen Vogue and is here as clippings on my work on dissociation. You know that feeling when you finish reading a good book, the kind you get sucked into completely, and it’s like you’ve just gasped for air? You start to take stock of what’s around you and slowly recognize […]

I have previously discussed how we are glamorising failure more and more, missing the step between learning and comfort. Which is where I pause and say, there is no comfort in art.

When Did Cool Become a Currency?

August 3, 2017

Or more over, a selling power. With the rise of Instagram advertising and #spon posts, cool has never been more popular.  Or more expensive.
