I sign these pieces with the simple pseudonym “Psuche” (psoo-khay.)
Psuche is Greek and means breath or soul. Why am I going to great lengths to protect my identity? It feels bizarre because I am a very public person. As an artist and a writer, I get work through being known. However, some things have happened over the course of this blog and I feel future clients might read it and may be afraid to send me work. In this case becoming known might affect my livelihood. So, until I am willing to disclose my identity, if you recognize who I am, I would humbly ask that you respect my anonymity and not reveal my name. I’m excited that this anonymity also gives me a freedom to share. As in my previous post about other times of anonymity, my greatest hope is that my sharing will help others.
