Damaged But Well is a collection of short writings gathered from the minutiae of everyday life — impressions too brief for prose, too persistent to ignore. Handwritten and typeset, scattered across single-sided pages, these fragments resist linear reading. They ask to be encountered rather than consumed.

Our daily lives are filled with fleeting emotions — some that make us boil over or tear up without reason. Though all-consuming in the moment, these episodes fade almost absurdly fast. This impermanence is unsettling. The persistent hope of capturing the ungraspable — writing it down, drawing it, typing it — is what drives these pages. Not to resolve the feeling, but to hold it still long enough to look at it.
The book exists in two ways at once. As an artist book, it is complete in itself — a space where concrete poetry meets personal record. As a catalogue, it is the source material from which the mirrors of the Melodramatic Reflection series and keytags of KEY TXT series are made. Text that begins on the page migrates into glass, acrylic, and light — and in this book, returns home.
A book for your everyday delight and despair.
