The initial piece in this collection, entitled "Self Portrait (Grief)", was brought to life in 2017. Drawing inspiration from the cellular structure of ovaries, it was created as a response to a series of early miscarriages experienced by the artist. At the time of its conception, the artist's life was fraught with stress stemming from both work and a now-dissolved marriage. While deeply personal, this piece was not created until after the birth of the artist's two children, following a period of intense introspection.
