"Since pressure makes diamonds and fire makes gold
She melted her freedom, replenished the mold
That was sculpted by ‘them’, elusive as they were
Her desire didn’t let her see that ‘them’ was her."
This series was inspired by the constant pressure I feel as a woman. A woman finding out what "womanhood" is and what it should be. My mum said once after I told her how much I felt the need to conform: “They said this, they will think that. But who is ‘they’?”
