Exploring the Nuances of Language

Beyond its autobiographical elements, "White Frames" shines as a profound exploration of language itself. Ellams delves into the power and limitations of words, examining how they shape our perceptions, influence our relationships, and ultimately define our understanding of the world.

"Words are not just symbols on a page," Ellams writes. "They are living, breathing entities that carry weight, history, and emotion. They can heal, they can wound, and they can ignite change."
