IN BETWEEN
THE ROOT & THE WING
A piece birthed from identity, origins & becoming, Unfurl follows the story of Ruel, a famed collegiate track star whose life changes overnight. As he grapples with a new life, he comes to terms with a past unrealized and fragmented. Each fragement leads him toward a truth he has long resisted.
From rooftops under the night stars to filedsthat hum with the tunes of those who came once before, Unfurl is a meditation piece on identity, legacy and the quietness of inheritance, written in prose that listens as much as it speaks. It is a story for all thos who has found themsevles in between their roots and their wings.
May you allow yourself the courage and liberation to [unfurl].
