    How was this overlooked? It is amazing!

    Deconstructing the damsel-in-distress in a post-feminist society. She has less self-esteem than a wallflower and yet avoids accountability at the same time. You relentlessly flay her with precise incisions, cutting away the mask she wears in both public and private.

    "It was just a coincidence
    that your cell phone fell,
    ...
    You weren't waiting for someone else to give it back to you,
    you weren't sketching scenarios in your head"

    These lines are a painting, impressionistic style, of a passive-aggressive victim of her own reluctance to enter life as a proactive player.
