In the maker’s own words

What happens when I name the weight aloud: it doesn't disappear, but it becomes a thing between us instead of a thing I'm alone with. The exhaustion doesn't shift lighter, it's still there in my chest, still that sensation of held breath, but there's a difference between carrying it in silence and carrying it while someone is asking to understand it. The naming makes it real in a different way. Less like drowning and more like.. being in water someone else can see.What they set out to make · 4 August 2026
