Bio
Hi! I'm an Anthropology and Visual Practice student at Goldsmiths, University of London. I have always enjoyed writing, yet the fun was taken out of it within an academic context, so I am beginning to recontextualise and have fun with it.

The windows that keep me safe from outside
*We’ll deliver your parcel between 11am and 1pm* promises the email from the delivery company. I can’t help but feel sparks of anticipation when I read this. Something exciting will happen today! So, at 12:17 when the doorbell rings, I know exactly what it is: five new notebooks because I just don’t have these ones, Dad, they’re not the same as all the others! The delivery driver has left the parcel outside and are on their way to the gate, but I sprint down the hall to my front window to wave and say thank you very much! The effort of running is worth it to interact with someone new. It is exhilarating to see a different face; one that isn’t my mum’s or my dad’s, and there’s also only so many times I can study my features in the mirror from absolutely every single angle possible to determine what I actually look like.
