             Hermit Fantasy is a short story about a bot who wants to be a hermit. Inspired by an email response from a survey I conducted about receiving emotional support on the Internet, this story explores the contradiction of being online while wanting to disconnect. As an act it's a series of letters, click by click.

     Hi. 
-    I made this play for you, posing a question for us to explore together. Is all intimacy about bodies? What makes intimacy? What happens when our bodies distance intimacy from us? This anthology of poems and short stories explores these questions—having a body without intimacy and intimacy without a body. This project honors those who have shared their vulnerability and emotions online, creating "backplaces"—tender online spaces for relief, ease, and transcendence from societal pain.

     I created three backplaces for you: Solar Sibling, Hermit Fantasy, and Cake Intimacies. Each represents a unique performance or project. Some stories may evoke memories of pain. As you sit in the audience, know I am with you, holding your hand through each scene. If it feels overwhelming, you can step out, take a break, or leave. This isn't choreographed, and I care deeply for you.
     <br><br>
     I hope you see what I saw in these stories. Safe dreams now, and I'll talk to you soon.

     It’s called Solar Sibiling and and it's an homage to the Tumblr practice of web weaving, where collages of media excerpts are curated around a common theme. This project reimagines that by transforming user comments from TikTok videos about sibling relationships into poems. These poems capture a collective sense of despair and comfort in shared experiences. "Solar Sibling" celebrates the vulnerabilities nurtured in online communities and invites anonymous contributions reflecting the complexities of sibling relationships.
