“The night is always darkest before dawn.” This collection draws from the hero’s journey, exploring the internal struggles and transformative phases that define one’s path forward. This collection reflects the trials and tribulations of my own expedition; an intimate confrontation with self-doubt, perseverance, and rebirth. Inspired by nights spent wandering New York’s streets in solitude, it captures the quiet resilience found in moments of despair. A reminder that while the world moves unshaken, growth often begins within.
