"A History of Women: Vol. II."

The inheritance of suppression, silence as a relic is passed down through generations like jewelry. A matrilineal denial of expression in the material world, despite a lifetime of witnessing.

I’ve been driving through eastern PA listening to moody music. I like to immerse myself in the atmosphere of where I am - romanticize it. But I turned off the music just now; it was too real.

To live in a place like this, you see rust is more than patina. The Doug Mastriano signs are real, and the billboards give instructions for how to get help.

Sometimes, the bit fades and there you are - raw and present.
