I long to exist, Not save, Or please, Just be, A person,
Who’s reality, Does not Belong, To Someone else

Women have experienced being defined by anything
or anyone, but our personhood. We feel the need to prove
our inherent value through acts of service, or performing
for someone else’s pleasure. This piece addresses the
impossible expectations of becoming a “real girl”
as a metaphor of a ladder, the steps of which are
impossible to climb.

The moto in use: “Love is how you become real”
is also burned into the wood on the sides of the ladder.
