What it's like to lie next to someone and be the only one unraveling

In this body of work, I consider proximity as a site of misalignment, where symmetry in form disguises asymmetry in feeling. This piece engages the quiet architecture of longing: how stillness can simulate tenderness, and how emotional weight can go unnoticed when distributed unevenly between two bodies. What appears as mutual becomes uncertain. The tension is not in rupture, but in the illusion of balance, where one body remains intact, and the other begins to slip, thread by thread, into something unnamed. I am interested in that space: the moment when connection performs itself, even as it unravels.
