Chrysalis
Sunday is an escort struggling with addiction and an abusive past. She is in transition, trying to find self love and create a better life for herself but it is sometimes hard to let go of old patterns and beliefs that are ingrained in our head. Through self awareness and a desire to thrive, somewhat observing her life and the characters in it through a different light, Sunday may be ready for her metamorphisis.

A mentality is a hard thing to change on the collective level. What I am sharing is meant to move you, to impact you and to make you think. You are never so different from anyone else, you just have a different story that ended up with different decision making. Empathy is key to unity and through arts, love can be found.
