She aims for her body of work to remain consistently about deeper issues and taboos that plague society. As an empath, she wants her work to bring more compassion to ourselves and our world. Having struggled to let her poetry meet her voice for many years. Axis is ready to share her soul with those willing to listen. In hopes that we can all be inspired to give voice to our passions.
