This piece explores media as a form of companionship. Inspired by the lyric, “the songs that saved your life,” this collage maps the atmosphere of how art has shaped me over time—from the sparse, lonely icons of childhood to the crowded mix of adolescence. It is a visual record of some of the books, music, and imagery that stood beside me during periods of isolation, reflecting an identity that is still in conversation with the “company” it keeps.
