“Many of my works come from my personal experience, this body of work makes no exception. I struggled and still struggling with putting others’ needs ahead of mine, I find it hard to set boundaries and stand my ground on certain things, whether for old wounds or for being empathetic towards everyone but me. When I realized I was repeatedly abandoning myself and my needs in my relationships for the sake of others, directly affecting my mental and physical health, ending up picking the pieces, I felt the need to try and put it all on paper.”

“Open mouths are quite literal in this case, they’re saying “SPEAK UP”, stand up for yourself, let your voice be heard, say what you want and need, take up your space, say that thing that bothered or hurt you and do not let the fear of abandonment stop you, those who’ll get mad or leave cause you set a boundary and defended it are simply not meant for you; period.
Moths are a symbol of liberation, that sensation you start to feel when you actually begin to show up for yourself, like a weight is lifted from your chest, from your spirit, and you let all of these things be out there, maybe quietly, even shy at the beginning, progressively louder when you build up courage and get the hang of it, when you stop seeing them as a selfish act but as a shield that protects your kindness and empathy from those who take advantage of them. “
