A mixed-media collage spread over an open notebook filled with handwritten poem drafts. A circular cut-out of a person’s eyes sits at the top. Below it, two identical grayscale skull illustrations appear on each page. In the center, duplicated vintage illustrations of Alice-in-Wonderland–style girls are layered together. At the bottom left and right, two matching orange-and-yellow butterflies are placed symmetrically. The handwritten notes beneath the collage elements remain partly visible.

Update

The latest poem, Terminal Reflection, continues the descent through ordinary spaces where perception shifts by degrees. An airport concourse, glass, light, static, movement; nothing overtly wrong, but things don’t quite align.

The unease here isn’t symbolic or dramatic. It emerges quietly, through delay, repetition and small perceptual mismatches. What’s unsettling isn’t what happens, but how long it takes to notice.

I’ll let the work breathe for a while.

Cheers,

Stef.
