War Inside the Sea is an anti-epic retelling of the struggle against time and desolating violence. Through a current of lyrical tones and recurring symbolisms such as the Moon or the Fish, the “hero” recalls her uprooting from home and family and into the waiting hands of conflict. She threads a quasi-fantastical narrative, fighting the fury of gods and losing at every turn. At the edges of the text, no daring soldier is found. It is a mother, a child, a friend denied. A hopeless survivor whose path has made her grievous in her complicity, mad with rage at the loss of the beloved.

This collection explores water as a symbolic territory of strife and resistance, both within and outside the self. The heroic voice negates the crudeness of the deeds she´s made to embark on, personified in the many watery shapes of this tale. The opposing communiqués serve as a hiding ground of progressively voracious spite. The survivor shifts within herself like a crashing wave, yet somehow is able to find a tender turn: an antidote to silence, to the romance-ification of a far more impertinent cry. Hers is a quest to find allies in violent places and nurture the fragments we often refuse to look at. It is the making from wreckage of a stronger will, a kinder hand. At its core, it is a promise that beyond all fury, no god ever lasts.
