There is no set series of work that will be written, but I plan on writing a number of pieces that explore the ideas of memory, loss, and identity. These pieces will be based on my own experiences, as well as those of my family and friends. I hope to create a body of work that is both personal and universal, and that speaks to the human experience.
The Vikings were a group of people who lived in Scandinavia during the Middle Ages. They were known for their skill in sailing and their ability to travel long distances. They were also known for their violence and their willingness to fight.
