(I thought about you again like I think about you way more than I’d like to admit and I think about your bullshit then I think about me I think about my distaste towards me stop it you’re so dramatic I think about times before you then I think about my bullshit I think maybe this is all just karma I think… I don’t think this is about you anymore.)

Throughout Grace’s time (so far) here on Earth, one thing that has always remained as a constant is her attempt at understanding the intricacies of human behavior and psyche. Although if she was to overthink it (which she will), this is probably an impossible task. In which case she is happy to take the role of the observer. By communicating her ideas through a “intimate sphere”, her work takes inspiration from everyday life to tell stories about connection and belonging.
