"Everyone can fly, but not everyone remembers they have the wings to do so." - How the Dolphin Taught the Swan to Fly Two masks made from illustration boards lay lifeless on an unkept bed. One was in the shape of a small swan, painted in horrendous hues of white, yellow-green, and loud orange; another, an attractive dolphin-shaped mask with a palette of different shades of blue. Unsuspecting and inanimate, unrelenting and unforgiving. Visual triggers to a gamut of sentiments and unwarranted sensations. HOW THE DOLPHIN TAUGHT THE SWAN TO FLY is a fable and semi-fictionalized memoir built on the foundation of a broken friendship and depression, which concludes in self-healing and self-acceptance.
