Hi! I’m Iris! Born in 1998, I grew up reading lots of dystopias centering on young women. My love for speculative fiction grew while I studied English literature in Germany, Scotland, and the US. Inspired by authors such as Margaret Atwood and Kazuo Ishiguro, I like to think up worlds that are off-kilter, that extrapolate the worst of our reality into an even darker fantasy. In this story, I fabulate about the architecture of exclusion: how we continuously build a world that excludes, rather than includes.
