we are a galaxy

we are a galaxy is an intimate collection of prose, poetry, and visual art that explores the many dimensions of love. Rachel Archelaus moves through desire, heartbreak, humor, longing, and spiritual connection to reveal how relationships shape us, linger within us, and continue to transform us across time.

Both grounded and otherworldly, the book invites readers into a world where love is never only physical. It is energetic, symbolic, awkward, erotic, funny, and deeply human. Paired with abstract expressionist illustrations, we are a galaxy becomes a layered portrait of love as lived experience-messy, magical, unfinished, and vast.
