In The Midst
From folklores to modern myths, notice that somehow they're always around. Who knows, perhaps they have been co-existing in the midst of us.

The Gods' Will
Fate is indeed as cruel and as cold as they’ve been told to be. Alas no matter how warm and how vibrant the fragile red strings seem to glow, there shall come a time when the cold silver blades handled by wrinkled and aged hands will cut them loose and limp. Then they’ll look between the three of them with their milky eyes and cackle, as another was lost - a new string will be woven.

After an experience of one trying to takeover me and hearing a knock every night at 3AM, i realized that they’re just living among us, not all of them are “scary” and some are just there to protect you, but of course it was scary hearing a girl’s laugh in the corner of your room but that’s besides the point.

Tempest
This particular piece is inspired by the idea of femininity. I personally believe the idea of our own femininity to be something of our very own myths or our very own design.
