STRANGERS was really elusive for me. It kept wanting to be STRANGERS something something and then it wanted to be adulty-fancy like STRANGERS between the sheets of September, and then it wanted to be ALL-mystery like STRANGERS in the night skies walking, and then it wanted to be like fake-sorrowful like STRANGERS in the inconsolability of the ends of space-time. And then, it wanted to be childish and full of flights of fancy like STRANGERS in the Sands of Rainbow Skies. And then It wanted to be simple, like STRANGERS. That’s really the hand-to-heart truth and story of how STRANGERS came to be. When I was young, I wanted life to be endearing. Now that I am older, I long for life to be endearing again. I think that’s really that which endures.

‘C’EST LA VIE, BON BONS. TRALALA’ – is a collection of art & poetry that emergenced during the COVID-19 Pandemic. It is a body of work where the poet-artist is reflecting on how ‘small is beautiful’* looks like in daily life, what ‘Development as Freedom’** means personally for her in global society, and it documents her examination of the statement that ‘simplicity is beautiful and profound’. She discovers that this is the name, the way and the voice of the journey and homecoming of herself in a poet-artist’s studio.
