The Breakup Club

A Collective of Mishaps and Falling Aparts

Beschreibung

This work explores the idea of breakups serving as catalysts for growth and reflection, whether they are romantic endings, a dream never realized, a family feud, or breaking away from the labels thrust upon one's personal identity. These words encourage the notion that through our constant mishaps, which lead us to fall apart again and again, we can create and share empathy between individuals and communities.
