"A Coward's Death" reflects a fragmented memory rooted in an early experience of discomfort, capturing the tension between perceived freedom and internalized constraint. It navigates the subtle codes of gender, safety, and shame, evoking a feeling of in-betweenness.

The work delves into the complexities of a delayed experience of youth, questioning what it truly means to come of age. It explores the duality of discomfort and peace, reflecting on what it means to seek safety and authenticity in a world often at odds with both.
