These Cracks

Lily K.

• Artist Statement

  I live in a historic home, and this poem looks at the parallels of living in an old home to a family that has baggage. The poem doesn't label the family as a damaged one forever though, it considers a future where people can move past and heal.

• Creative Statement

  Creativity and art helps change my perspective in life and makes me think about others and myself. Art moves me, hearing other peoples stories and finding myself mirrored in others’ art, and knowing that there is a shared experience or identity.
