Scurvy Mikula-Koenitz, Bare Bones (Fragments) (PEOPLE 2025)

Bare Bones (Fragments) is a portrait of my friend Reece, well known as The Fool. This title, whether self-given or imposed by others, creates an identity that may not fully reflect the person beneath. In this piece, I aim to strip away expectation, performance, and assumption—to reveal Reece as he exists in his quiet moments: unguarded, worn by life but unwavering, finding home wherever his dog, Venus, is.
