What follows is part memoir, part internal reckoning. An incisive and visually explosive journey to understand not just how to make art again, but why it mattered so deeply in the first place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe more she dismantles inherited expectations, identities, and survival mechanisms, the more urgently she's drawn toward the question beneath them all: what parts of me are truly mine?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDrawing the Distance\u003c\/em\u003e is realised in Mimi's energetically chaotic, often surreal art style.
