A woman folds into herself on a thin layer of pink florals the only softness between her and the cold, jagged ground beneath. A looming black dog presses into her space, heavy and inescapable, while a crow tangles itself in her hair, thoughts pecking and pulling. The comfort from the blanket is threatened to be tugged away by clenched hands representing tension, threatening to leave her exposed on gravel. Her cardigan, knitted from the words of her deepest traumas, clings to her like both armor and burden. Black Dog explores the suffocation of feeling too much in a world that calls sensitivity a flaw. It asks when someone carries this weight, why is their pain mistaken for weakness?
