"Intimate Things" ... “It is an absolute human certainty that no one can know his own beauty or perceive a sense of his own worth until it has been reflected back to him in the mirror of another loving, caring human being… I wondered if he realized that the way he looked at me was far more intimate than copping a feel could ever be.” ―( John Joseph Powell/ Maggie Stiefvater)
"Unknown" ...“In the years afterward, I fled whenever somebody began to understand me. That has subsided. But one thing remained: I don't want anybody to understand me completely. I want to go through life unknown. The blindness of others is my safety and my freedom.” ― Pascal Mercier, Night Train to Lisbon.
"Roses"..."Just once I would like to take this secret out of my heart And place it in the garden where roses unfurl curls of petals into a swirling vortex Here where I love you My spirit is wet dew from the grass Rest upon my lips glistening into the dark Among these thoughts scattered with want I know only desire to find you" (Gesso Cocteau)

Self Expressive
Through this collection, I attempt to provide a fresh set of eyes through which to observe what are common elements of life, emotions that invariably affect us all at one time or another, to become more connected with an increasingly unconnected world.
In today’s society it is so easy to feel isolated due to overwhelming emotions which we often do not have the courage to share openly, as we believe it will make us vulnerable and weak. Through this collection, I attempt to use both art and poetry as a creative tool with which to offer a unique perspective on these realities. When I did this collection, I thought that people wouldn’t understand the true sentiment behind these very personal pictures, but the overwhelming response to them demonstrated that we as human beings, often have more in common than we realise.
