The Fragment
A fragment inked on handmade cotton paper and sealed in wax.
It carries the moment you met your whole self—and stayed.
It may be:
- A mirror that doesn’t distort
- A threshold of radical regard
- A love note to the unretouched soul
You cannot connect to others
while hiding from yourself.

Reflections from the Weaver
It’s easy to curate from afar.
To be admired for your outline,
your myth,
your distance.
But what about the close-up?
The version of you with uneven skin,
unfinished stories,
unwritten apologies?
The one who falters,
forgets,
fails.
What happens when someone sees that you—
and doesn’t flinch?
And what happens when you are the one who doesn’t turn away?
We speak so often of being seen,
but rarely of seeing ourselves without flinching.
It’s terrifying.
And freeing.
Because once you can love the version of you that falters and forgets,
you don’t need the pedestal anymore.
You don’t need the illusion.
You just need truth.
And someone—maybe you—to stay.
