When cross-medium collaboration becomes a series of artistic compromises

My collaborator and I work in completely different mediums and that's supposed to be the magic, but lately every project turns into me trying to translate my vision into something she can work with and her trying to make my ideas fit her process. We're both compromising so much that nothing feels like either of our real work anymore.
