I highly recommend writing papers while listening to heavy metal and trying to type as fast as either the drums or guitar.

The woman standing at the edge of the universe was gilded with golden scarves.
When the sun shone, every inch of her skin was blinding.
Even the moon knelt in front of her ashamed to come out.

Inspired by Max Nonnenbruch's Young Beauty, 1892
I’ve started writing more poems as the words come to my mind every second when I get inspired. Last year was a major inspiration for me but I’ve stopped writing for a while until last week. Something clicked in me when I saw Renaissance paintings and words came flowing down onto the paper in front of me. This one’s inspired by Nonnenbruch’s painting which reminded me of a woman sittin in a sunny Mediterranean house looking outside to the sea.
I also couldn’t recognise myself after I edited the photos. I should seriously create more of these because I’m addicted to pre-Victorian paintings of women, ghosts, mansions, and mythological characters.

a close friend hosted a going away tea party in my honor, and I threw together different pieces in my closet/night gown drawer to make a turn of the century vibe happen. | IG
