Hello, everyone! I hope your last few months have stirred something good. I have been stickering new pieces of writing all over the place on Wattpad and Patreon. Anyways, onto the essay "Collaging!" Note: Written from the perspective of Autta Aho, a fictional character from Buchtton.
There's something calming about collaging. The tearing of little pieces of paper that would otherwise be forgotten always brings me a sense of belonging. I piece together pictures of brown wool with the yellow glow of the sun. I can combine the silver-speckled night sky with a rosy morning. The sleek texture of a magazine article, the graininess of a newspaper, they all come together to become something more than their original parts. I can find paper all over the place. Fresh, unwrinkled computer paper or the wonderful curviness of old receipts. I can use homework assignments from long nights I can barely remember and birthday cards from years past. When I collage, I can create something disorderly and beautiful and that brings me peace.
