Heyyy xx

I’m writing to you right now from Bali. It was 1 year ago, in this exact place that I felt my entire world fall apart. My 10 year relationship came to an end and I honestly just didn’t know what to do, where to go, or quite frankly, who I was. Which is so sad. I was so panicked, I genuinely remember thinking NO, PLEASE TAKE ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING FROM ME instead of this!! :(

I made a vow to myself to return back here after 12 months to reflect back, and I won’t lie it has been quite emotional haha xx So here I am, back this time with my family and friends and I genuinely am so proud of the progress I’ve made in coming back to MYSELF.

The honest truth is though, I’m still not okay, and I can’t imagine I will be in the near future. I feel like there’s a pressure to pretend past connections don’t exist, but the truth is: everyone who’s been part of your story stays with you in some way. And I think that’s fine. That’s real. That’s being human. I think I’ve learnt that what matters is feeling the feelings. Because when you face pain head-on, you make space for new love, in all of its forms.

This collection, Wet, comes from a very personal place. As people flow in and out of our lives, we can feel grateful, hurt, healed, nostalgic, or still hold love for the people who shaped us.

For years I’ve been drawn to reflections, fluidity and light. I’ve played with how these elements move, distort, shimmer and reshape what we think we see. Those ideas have been quietly rippling, and now they’ve become something I’m finally ready to share.

All my love,
