This small painting explores the idea that we have lots of hidden treasure buried within us. On a soul level, we carry so many memores, dreams, hurts, loves, moments and we don't even know they are still there. The pain we experienced throughout the pandemic seemed to rip away our protection so we could see more of what is inside and it was confronting. It has led to change. And with change comes grief.

Together we are collectively grieving our old pre-pandemic life and selves. By embracing the grief we have the opportunity to be reborn and come out anew. It's just so uncomfortable in the process.
