This is a selection of images from a book that I’ve produced called Dissolved by an Order. The narrative that I sought to elucidate in the book is a self-exploration rooted in my parents’ divorce – not so much the feeling directly involving their literal legal separation, but the resounding effects it’s had on my life. Looking at the book in a physical form is very strange, and each time I look at it, it gets more difficult. It may be the fact that I know I’m not finished with the ideas that I’ve begun to explore in this narrative investigation. I feel like I’ve started something that may take me years to finish, if I ever do finish, and the fact that this early manifestation even exists in this form feels, in a sense, wrong. I am quite certain that I’m not ready for this to exist yet.
