You can stare down a spider if your friend holds a shoe. You can weather a jolting flight if someone holds your hand. Even in the goriest horror movies, you know the heroine’s safe as long as her friends can avoid getting slashed.
It’s when you’re alone that fear takes hold. The ultimate phobia is solitude.

“all the ways i’m leaving you” is a collection of kinetic landscapes that explores that moment of stepping off into the unknown.
