Notes on Shapeshifting

Abrāo’s work has been described by *The Outline* as “an existential funhouse of familiar thoughts” that “publicly grapples with pillars of its own existence within the influencer economy.” Alongside *The Outline* , her work has been featured in publications such as *The Atlantic* , *Dazed* , *The Harvard Crimson* , and *The Face* , among others. In response to Abrāo’s work, *Dazed Magazine* wrote, “Gabi debunks the myth that wellness is the preserve of the privileged, and in doing so hands it back to the masses,” and *Notes on Shapeshifting* is a reminder that we are agents of the change that we seek. Gabi Abrāo’s *Notes on Shapeshifting* is an ode to existing in physical form, fully aware of the changing energy that flows through every aspect of it. As Abrāo writes, “tapping into the ether body to take a break from the demands of the earth body, / making peace with ephemerality, / lightness, / shapeshifting”. Throughout this collection, you are invited to travel through various states; pure infatuation to heartbreak, confidence to defeat, from a skepticism for living to a full-on trust in it. And Notes on Shapeshifting yearns to soothe and arouse along the way.
