A collaboration with queer poet Blaire Bridges. Bridges crafted a poem, titled "the wolf that was fed" and I created this piece as a visual accompaniment.

From the series "Queeries"

"My blood has dripped with the moon.

I have walked my mother's footsteps

Down the echoing hallways.

I have heard my own heartbeat

In the thunder clapping.

My body is a standing ovation

To the choice I made to live."

-an excerpt from "the wolf that was fed"
