HER

Overview

Simply put HER is a coming of age story. Typically, were taught that maturation of this kind only happens in our transition from adolescence, tween, then teenhood. Or in the event of death, new life, marriage, love, and heartbreak. But the truth is we never stopped evolving. Big events such as these are not the only markers of change, they are just the ones we expect. Life moves quickly and we lose sight of ourselves and sometimes we need to stop and SEE. My life has shifted in so many ways but capitalism traps us with goal setting, healing, and achieving. We are always in a process and we never just are. In HER, I want to reflect on the journey thus far because inevitably a new journey is on the horizon.
