About the artwork

Ugly Truth Unrecognizable In every way, shape, and form. It’s equally admirable and terrifying. It’s what I needed and never wanted, And what I wanted and never needed— A balancing act Where I hope the scales tip in my favor. Utter Nonsense A little grating—like a record skipping. But I’ve grown to like the way it sounds, Too tired to get up and walk across the room. The soundtrack to my month. My year. I’m sure I’ll grow sick of it soon enough And be forced to move. But I just need another second here. Ugly Truth I am the very thing I am trying to run away from. It’s physically impossible—I know. But if I keep moving forward At a fast enough pace, I swear sometimes— Just for a split second— I see my shadow lag behind. AI generate music by Ethereal Gwirl
