"A to-scale figurative work, this drawing is meant to depict the often overlooked and undervalued beauty in grief.
There is a severe lack of love in most of our lives; a quiet tragedy that is the root cause of many of society’s major issues. Love, or a lack thereof, is a difficult topic to discuss because the word itself has been so misused, watered down so greatly that it has lost much of its power. My work aims to address this issue, using various media as visual metaphors.
I am drawn to materials that convey strong dualities: destruction and preservation, beauty and danger, fragility and strength. "
