Paper Atlas

About This Track

In “Paper Atlas,” I trace the invisible labor that turns a woman into the hinge, bridge, tide, and garden beneath everyone else’s life. Sustained cello, warm upright bass, and a muted felt pulse carry the song from exhaustion toward self-possession. It is not about abandoning love; it is about refusing to abandon myself. Quiet, intimate, and grounded, this is the moment the mirror stops showing a stranger.
