macabre lies is a collection of paintings and poems that speak to each other. They speak of loneliness, anxiety, eating disorders, loss, and their interconnection. Non-sensical and fragmented experiences of grief and mental illnesses find embodiment through unconventional structures and forms of art and poetry.
