PUKE BITCH initially stemmed from my desire to delve into my identity through my interactions with others. The character “Dove” symbolizes the part of me that struggles to connect with like-minded individuals. Similar to her, I rarely come across someone I truly resonate with, but when I do, I become fixated on that person, solely focusing on them. In Dove’s case, that person is her twin brother Larry. As an only child, I often yearned for a sibling to grow up with, believing that having a sibling would have made it easier for me to make friends. “Puke Bitch” delves into this concept and also explores the potential challenges of being forever linked to someone.
