AUTHOR’S NOTE FROM THE CAVE STUDIO:
Recording this in our Cave Studio in Tulbagh, I can almost see that suitcase in my mind’s eye. Keith is at the controls, and narrating this chapter feels like opening a tin box I sealed very long ago.
ABOUT THIS SNAPSHOT:
A suitcase on a childhood bed becomes the symbol of an internal life learned to stay hidden. This chapter explores the metallurgy of childhood fear and the formation of a false self as a survival strategy.
