The pain, the overthinking, the moments that kept you up at night—it won’t always feel this way. It might not disappear completely, but it’ll lose its grip on you. Life keeps moving, even when you don’t feel ready, and little by little, without even noticing, you’ll start to feel lighter. You’ll still remember, but it won’t hurt the same way. It won’t define you.

What felt like the end will just be a part of your story—something that shaped you but didn’t break you. The things that tested you, the days you thought you wouldn’t get through, will turn into proof of how strong you actually are. You’ll see it in the way you handle things differently, in the way you trust yourself more. And even if it doesn’t feel like it now, you won’t always be stuck here.

Remi works with a hesitant, erratic violence, creating a piece as light and fluffy as she is, and signing her work by hole-punching it with her teeth.

Timmy uses bold, strong lines to evoke some kind of powerful event, echoing his powerful presence and loud voice.

Nubbins, truly inspired, creates a high-energy piece that symbolizes the void where his brain should be, surrounded by chaos and mischief.
