Drafts:
The story of a character striving to emerge.
The body longs to be exposed yet refuses,
voicing the heart’s desire: See me. From infancy to maturity, this desire grows stronger, donning a mask of pleasing.
Layer upon layer, they peel away slowly,
protecting the deepest secret of all: the self.
This draft of a body wanders like a sleepwalker –
vulnerable, fragile, imperfect, and unfinished –
shouting with all its might: I am here

In Between:
Memories from our childhood, friends, home.
We carry them with us throughout our life, all the way to the future, letting them affect our decisions.
The clothes that we used to wear, and maybe even now, carry with them the emotion and maybe even the burden of what we wished to forget.
Between the clothing and the movement, sensations and memories merge into one, influencing each other in ways that cannot always be foreseen.
