2022
growing, nurturing, transforming.
Windows closed, curtains drawn,
alone with our thoughts,
alone with God.
Yearning for the birth of our new self
and the death of our past self.
Days go, and months come;
the dream incubates, joy steadily rises,
awaiting the day we tear open our cocoons
and fly out as beautiful butterflies.
—Dela Anyah
The Dreamer’s Cocoon accompanied Dela Anyah’s solo exhibition of the same name at Noldor Artist Residency, 2022.
