The Book of Forbidden Feelings (2026)
Author: Lala Bohang
Category: Poetry
I wanted to say, "I would love to know your obsessions. Is it landed house, gadgets, power, domestic life, succulent plants, achievements, money, work, more likes and followers, health, validations, sex, organic food, pets, perfect selfies, children, sports, religion, relationship, minimalism, perfection, muscles, urban toys, shoes, traveling, or fame?" but nobody is prepared for that kind of question on a first date. So I said, "You look great."

"Lala's expressions are always stronger through her words and drawings. Looking at her drawings is like reading her book of principles, while rading her writings is like listening to her most inner thoughts. That's why reading The Book of Forbidden Feelings is like having her close by my side and listening to her quiet ranting of thoughts. And even, a lot of times, it feels like listening to my own conscience." —Mia Maria, Art Curator
