No More Pet Names (2019) is a collaboration with photographer Lily West directed by West and Joely Mae Greally, shot by Lily and edited by Joely with accompanying music by Angel Baby. Greally performs as an emblem of heartbreak. An intimate, visceral meditation on transition, growth, and emotional dissonance. Set against a hyper-saturated, bubblegum pop landscape, the work navigates the raw terrain of mistrust, betrayal, and exquisite discomfort. Through manic shifts in tone—laughter dissolving into tears, sweat pooling between anxious gestures—the piece captures the liminality of emotional thresholds: spaces where things are neither beginning nor ending, but aching in-between. It's a portrait of the beautifully unhinged, the underwhelmed, the overfelt.

Greally’s performance is both tender and unruly, pulling the viewer through a fever dream of vulnerability and refusal. No More Pet Names doesn’t seek resolution—it dwells in the manic poetry of change.
