Garden Flow

This is dedicated to a short story I wrote that describes a time in which I was held captive by a relationship full of lies and manipulation, until finally I let go. I find it important to note how healing this process was for me. The model is my best friend, who was able to channel my feelings in that toxic relationship so perfectly. Using nature as a magical tool allowed me to feel connected to my environment in a way that I had never experienced or realized. In this series, nature breathed how I felt. Wrapping artificial objects, like the cement cylinder, around my model unearthed a parallel. Just like us, nature is suffocated, abused, and manipulated. But nature persists; it grows and heals- just like me.
