Abstract
Shadowing is a poetry and photography collection that examines the transformative, and often disfiguring, power of aestheticization, especially when applied to personal and cultural experiences like identity, gender, mental illness, or environmental collapse. The book explores how these issues and our perception of them are altered through the creative process, and also this pervasive need, on both an individual and cultural level, to aestheticize, and the capitalistic and patriarchal ideals that fuel it.
