Culture

At In Ivy & Ink, culture is not just what surrounds us — it’s what seeps into us. It’s the stories we inherit, the voices we remember, the silence between generations, and the slow art of reflection in a fast-moving world.

This page is where literature, art, history, and womanhood converge. Here, I explore the textured layers beneath the surface of what we read and observe — how a century-old novel still speaks to a modern soul, how a film can echo a forgotten era, how feminine identity is shaped by what we’re told and what we withhold.

Expect meditations and published works on:

  • The emotional legacy of gothic literature
  • Feminine archetypes in classic and contemporary stories and poems
  • Reflections on identity, silence, and selfhood across art and time
  • The cultural weight of books that refuse to be forgotten

Culture here is quiet, but it’s never passive. It’s rooted, like ivy — growing through the cracks, wrapping around memory and meaning.

This isn’t a commentary blog. It’s a candlelit room for slow thought, deep feeling, and the enduring power of story.
