For the rest, she also indicates there is an autobiographic element. That’s all I need to know — the pictures say the rest. No need for captions; the pictures speak clearly enough.

But I think the French text in the link below is better the introduction above:

This is all private space, private to the point where this could be Caleb Stein’s Poughkeepsie and no one would know the difference. Private space is good, but even private space happens somewhere. Otherwise, I like this a lot.
