karma

what? me..? well, my favourite colour is orange… where are you going? ..

I started working on Saint Basin around the age of 18, during a turbulent phase in my life (being a teenager), and I believe I created it to make sense of my surroundings. It’s too easy not to care; becoming a writer was my solution to apathy. Something about giving a face to abstract concepts allows me to extend empathy in places I would never initially think to. It’s opened up worlds to me, and my heart has grown that much bigger to accommodate it.

I’ve always gravitated towards psychology and unconventional dynamics. People are just inherently grotesque; it’s only natural, being the one animal self-aware enough to recognise our own ego. Sometimes it feels like you’re the only person in the world who can’t be seen, but surely out of the eight billion people on earth there is someone out there capable of loving you in all the strange, hyper-specific ways you need, regardless of how unsightly your soul may be. Which is pretty much the theme of my work.
