rely on reliance
rely on reliance is a duet that specifically explores the struggles of an unhealthy relationship between an independent and a dependent person. I like to believe everyone has settled into one of these roles in a previous or current romantic, family, or friend relationship. Regardless of the role being played, you tend to see the trends of frustration, sadness, anger, disappointment, and emptiness from both parties. With that being said, throughout this process of creating this work I began leaning towards the belief that this type of unhealthy relationship reveals a larger co-dependency issue instead of an independent vs dependent issue. rely on reliance was created in 2018.
