Creating this artwork was a spontaneous endeavor for me, as my poems hold immense personal significance. Writing serves as a therapeutic session for me. These poignant verses effectively convey my emotions and aid in the processing of daily experiences.

Preformationism is a formerly popular theory that organisms develop from miniature versions of themselves. That I chose it as my title might tip you off—I’m a tad bit fixated on my childhood.

Idalia Featherstone started out as a poem that I made earlier this year. But after I showed my mom, she convinced me to continue writing it.
