Her Name Is is an artistic response to John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men. With nothing more than a suitcase, Unnamed finds herself in the void, unsure of herself, her past, or her surroundings. She doesn’t know how she died but she knows one thing…she desperately needs a cigarette. 

Her Name Is gives a name to a woman who is so much more than what Steinbeck wrote her to be. This piece explores AFAB identify, violence against women, and the importance of holding on to our dreams. How can you die when you’ve never fully lived?
