A cocoon is a space that offers protection, safety and comfort. It’s about withdrawing from harshness, putting up a physical barrier, and surviving. Yet, it allows for a process of transformation to take place. The old self is broken down and repurposed, before it emerges as a different being. These metaphors are particularly reflective of the queer experience. To survive, we must pick up the pieces and craft our own communities so that we can emerge stronger.

Stronger than yesterday.
