"A homesickness for a place you can never return to, a place which maybe never was; the nostalgia, the yearning, the grief for the lost places of your past"
'Hiraeth' 2024 references the tale of Sleeping Beauty. Her tale is mirrored in the modern world, as we disassociate ourselves from reality and enter our own gardens of slumber, where we can find escape, safety and peace. This collection explores that symbiotic relationship between darkness, struggle, creativity, and survival, as these conditions can enhance and nurture our ability to think and dream deeply, creatively and vividly.
"A deep silence fell over the castle. The birds in the trees were silent. One moment the air was full of the music of their twittering; the next the air was still as in a desert. The very wind dropped to sleep in the woods; not a leat stirred, and the white clouds were motionless in the sky.”
-C.S. Evans, The Sleeping Beauty
