Kayden Vargas - [DEAD NAME} The Names of My Dead

In [DEAD NAME] The Names of My Dead Kayden Vargas troubles our notions of (home)town and family. Are we the people and places that birthed us or are we each our own creation of home? Is there grief in revisiting the landscapes that launched you? Why must we read shame into the handcraft of building a body, a future, a home? Not all can or want to be salmon. Some of us will always be happier to face into the future, backs firmly turned on everything we’ve left to become.
