Deeper
Falling in love is confusing at the best of times — and when you’re trying to navigate it as a gay woman, it can feel downright impossible. Sometimes, you just have to take the plunge. “i miss her laugh | i miss making her | laugh | i miss the way her eyes lit up | and her face | split in two so wide i thought | it would shatter”. Told through a series of flashbacks and old letters, ‘Deeper’ takes us to an underwater world full of life, love, and loss; guided by three queer women in mid-80s and 90s Newfoundland.
