Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
First communion typically occurs around age 7-8, making early menstruation statistically unlikely — Brugger deliberately collapses these milestones to intensify the body-horror of growing up female in religious spaces.
The title 'Pothos' refers to a Greek word for longing/desire, but also a trailing houseplant — suggesting both unspoken yearning and something that grows wild where it's not supposed to.
