Canapè Collection Laita, is a curation of six fictional short stories which delve into themes of love, loss, and loneliness. All tales in this collection focus on imperfect or damaged characters whose journeys of self-discovery enable them to overcome their own indecisions and faults.

Stuffed
A short poem wherein a young girl bids farewell to her innocent youth.

When We Sleep Together
An allegorical reflection into the influence of the fantastical on the real, in a tale embedded in insecurity and infidelity.
