Yellow fever. What a dreadful time this is.
A RISING SUN.
THE FAIR HAIR OF A GIRL
WITH A TWINKLE IN HER EYES.

SEARCHING FOR THE WORDS
FOR HEALING
SWALLOWED BY A HOPELESS
FEELING
WHAT'S THE USE OF PRAYER?
YOU'RE SILENT.
THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT?
TO BREAK ME.
THIS IS WHAT YOU GIVE?
FORSAKE ME.
THIS IS WHO YOU MADE.
SO TAKE ME
I LOOK ABOVE
AND FIND A HOLLOW SPACE
YOU STEAL A LIFE
YET SAY I MUST BELIEVE IN GRACE.

NOTHING LEFT TO DO
BUT GIVE IN

So often this can play out like a grand story — our lives feel as dramatic as a piece of theater or a film. I wanted to tie those feelings together, and also highlight the different stages of connection and loneliness. Sometimes we're alone, sometimes we're not. But there's always another chance to find a plus one."
