Forever Changes is a meditation on the architecture of transformation: how love dismantles us, how transgression leads to dissolution, and how the self fractures under the weight of its own becoming. These prose vignettes move through myth and memory, intimacy and exile, tracing a descent from passion to ego death to the shadow self’s desire for escape. What begins in longing gives way to moral reckoning, to the recognition that there is no running from what we’ve done or who we’ve been.
The collection asks what remains after we’ve been irrevocably changed, by desire, displacement, wrongdoing, loss. It explores the gap between observer and observed, the ways we hide and are hidden, the truth that clarity is impossible when perception itself has been shattered. Accompanied by stark black-and-white photography, this is a reckoning with the self as both witness and accomplice, an acknowledgment that we are all living in our own carefully concealed devastations.
