#februllage2025: DRAWING // A handmade gift for Kouno-san (one of my mom’s caregivers). We’ve been such a team during my time here in Japan. I learned she loved cats, and has a tabby named Boss, so I assembled this mixed media collage portrait for her in secret. 😉💛

#februllage2025: POLAROID
Just as I pressed down on the shutter, a gust of icy wind rose, sending strands of my hair fluttering across the lens to frame a sliver of the scene. An unexpected happening that feels a bit like magic- one I couldn’t have achieved if I tried.

#febbrullage2025: FREEZE
Analog collage hand-cut from origami paper. Conjuring up the satisfying sound of snow and ice creaking beneath my boots in Hokkaido, Japan this winter.

#februllage2025: FREEZE
Snow’s fallen in flutters & flurries since landing in Hokkaido. So peaceful to watch snowflakes collect on windowsills, powder turn to snowdrifts, & icicles form on eaves. Cut from origami paper conjuring sounds of creaking ice beneath my feet. #lacelitpaperlings

We Build Stories in Layers

we build stories in layers
we mix, mingle, one thing over another
shaking things up into a better story…
