Residence plan
"the earth is a better person than me" is a visual novel about a young woman who runs away from her life and into a forest and discovers she can talk to the environment around her. This project explores the interconnected affinities of queerness, disability, and environmental justice using multi-narrative paths and an early net-art aesthetic. It is a long, surreal journey into a young woman's psyche as she struggles to figure out her relationship to sexuality, mental illness, and self-esteem.
