This work merges two worlds, bringing together perspectives from multiple sides into a unified visual and poetic narrative. The handwritten words of Outspoken Bean embody both power and vulnerability, becoming a literal part of the composition. The poems and illustrations exist in dialogue, with each image amplifying and reinforcing the text. Together, text and image form a layered meditation that honors the fullness of life, acknowledges the weight of heartache, and gestures toward the possibility of revival.
