This short work examines intimate partner violence experienced by the author. Through the creation of Circles, she finds similar patterns in the chaos and pain created by different individuals.
"If I had seen or heard more examples of intimate partner violence, maybe I would’ve known what was happening. I used to wonder if perhaps knowledge would’ve made it easier to escape. It’s like a formula I could never put together but can understand in hindsight."
