my dear theo,
Just a few words to tell you that I’m getting along so-so as regards my health and work.
Which I already find astonishing when I compare my state today with that of a month ago. I well knew that one could break one’s arms and legs before, and that then afterwards that could get better but I didn’t know that one could break one’s brain and that afterwards that got better too.

watch the short film here: |
"in the echo of the corridor" is a short film shot, directed, & edited by sofia r.c. melendez (she/they) in partial fulfillment of their honor's bachelor's thesis, created via springboard at the macaulay honors college. it features melendez painting corridor in the asylum by vincent van gogh, just weeks after studying it up-close and personal through archival research. accompanying the footage of the process are two interviews conducted with photographer gabrielle asselta (she/her) & multi-hyphenate brie underwood (he/they), who discuss their relationship with their craft and how it has played a part in helping them heal.
