history is unfixed; reactivating the archive - even from absence, or destruction, or silence (so many archives are hollows/negative spaces/chiaroscuro to begin with) - is always possible: the animating force is the speaking/compositing eye of the historiographer, i.e. narrative (or apophenia).

Cover illustration for the short fiction anthology Fusion Fragment, showing a young woman surrounded by falling mirror shards. Each mirror shard reflects a different eye, representing the other trapped women in this Blue Beard fairy tale retelling.

Close-up crop of the book jacket for "All that we See or Seem" by Ken Liu, published by The Broken Binding. The main character Julia, 9s surrounded by digital identities belonging to her represented as holographic faces. She's looking up at a towering city scape in teal and purples.

Personal portfolio piece, "The Defeat of Sauron" inspired by The Silmarillion. Luthien and Huan towering over Sauron the sorcerer, banishing him from Tol-in-Gaurhoth.

Interior illustration for "Fangs for Nothing"; a cozy scene of the witchy book club meeting and the silhouette of a man looming in the window.

My Miyazaki Top 5:

- Howl’s Moving Castle
- Nausicaa
- Porco Rosso
- Kiki’s Delivery Service
- Whisper of the Heart (screenplay)

I’d also like to mention the short film/music video On Your Mark, just as devastating as his feature films. Like a good short story, it knows how to cut fast and deep.
