The Dempur Woods Collection
COMPLETED | 2020 - 2021
“I am losing and lonely in a world everyone seems to know. Shackling myself to something I am not, I only refuse in secret, waiting and waiting for a way out. That's when I met her, her name was Violet, and she knew the way. But I don’t know how to act. By the time I RED her, she BLUE right past me, and that’s when I saw the door. The PURPLE door.”
I believe we spend most of our lives hiding our true selves from the world. Hiding behind unseen walls that bring consequences from our lies. The works within this collection serves as a guide offering a safe passage out of the forest of falsehoods we wander.

PRESENTATION OF A PURPLE MOOD Instrumentals
"Surrounded by towering trees that seemed to whisper secrets to each other, I found myself alone. The air was thick with an eerie silence, broken only by chirps and the occasional rustle of leaves. Something calls out to me, "this way!" Guiding me deeper into the woods, I couldn't help but follow. My heart races as curiosity battles with caution."

"It felt like it was just you and me. We found ourselves lost in that moment. You have a liking for me, and you know that I have a liking for you, but I don't know if goes beyond mere liking me because, truthfully, I go beyond mere liking you, so I never said."

GONE BOY
DEMPUR WOODS
"It's the last night. We hid in the dining hall. Your touch felt safe. Then we kissed and became the same. Along the wall and down to the chair. If heaven's on earth, it left once we were discovered. Our eyes locked one last time as you are rushed out the door. There was a pause perfect for me to say something. But I'm a stranger to paradise. The elephant in the corner yells back at me, "What is wrong with me?" I whisper back, "I'm not brave."
