"Functional Breakdown" is a collection of poetic imagery meant for self-reflection and introspection on life's complexities and vulnerabilities. It serves as a form of emotional bandaging, a way to foster deeper connection from a better understanding of others.

​

​

Each piece, inspired by original prose, is like a brushstroke of resilience—an expression of vulnerability that reflects the challenges of mental and physical illnesses resulting from trauma and their impact on the healing process.

The collection is raw, honest, and imperfect, reflecting the perspective of a survivor. It is inspired by the human experience, shedding light on the delicate balance between fantasy and reality in a cryptic yet revealing way.

​

 

So, grab a tissue—and maybe a snack—because just like in "Landslide" by (the Goddess) Stevie Nicks, take the necessary time for reflection—return as needed; then curate your own exhibit of vulnerability.
