Sophia,
I love the idea of the Cabinet of Curiosities as a metaphor of selfhood. This collection of images from your even more vast collections of curious objects has an evocative narrative when read as a page in a graphic novel. Starting as a travel guide to identity formation, we see various moments of the journey along the way, with some promises of prediction and others of actuality perhaps, even a master key to the issue at hand but then the absolutes are undermined by the enigmatic ones. I like the spider on the printed page, maybe contemplating the web of words, and the provisional conclusion with your reversed pincushion, prickly side out! Wonderfully thought-provoking.
