    I loved the intense imagery and the emotional, slightly surreal tone of this piece. Skura does an excellent job leaning into her protagonist's state of mind to give a scattered, tense, and heartbreaking portrait of a life through the eyes of sustained trauma, and what it does to both the person living it and the people in their lives. Beautiful work!
