I attend Chandler-Gilbert and stumbled across this display earlier today. It struck a chord with me that I didn't even realize existed. The pain in those pieces is so profound. I have never experienced such feelings of hopelessness and abandon, but then again I haven't told my very conservative friends and family that I am bisexual. The gallery makes me afraid to tell them, but also inspired by the fact that people can get through it and inspire others.

Thank you for your work.
