She'll Be Apples

By

Angela

Coloured Pencil on Paper, 2024

This image depicts the wild woman and the apple tree. It is inspired by the character 'Aofie' in this year's production.

During development, we had discussions about what the apple represented. To trust or not to trust, to bite or not to bite. For me the apple merely represents choice. You can drift along or you can bite the apple and choose for yourself. And that is powerful.

‘Love is Rebuilding My Life’

By Phillip

Methfairytale

By Karie

I’m not belle of the ball, not the very least, but we have something in common, I’m in love with a beast. But the beast is not a person but a drug that I call meth, I’ve been talking to myself for hours, I’m running out of breath.

Nostalgia

By Dennis

Nostalgia is a gentle haze, a soft and fading, golden maze, where time itself begins to blur, and memory’s touch is sweet and pure.
