Created as a reflection on the stages of grief I have gone through since falling under the spell of chronic illness, this painting is intentionally difficult to look at, both in terms of subject matter and composition. The facial expression, burning color, darkness, sharp, hard outlines, rough edges, and hellish tendrils melting into nothingness combine to symbolically indicate the stages of grief from denial, anger, rejection, bargaining, and finally to acceptance.

My work is rooted in memory and lived experience. I build images that shift between presence and fragmentation, allowing instability to remain visible. Rather than fixing form, I let it emerge and adjust through process, guided more by perception and emotional atmosphere than by narrative clarity.
"I paint in the space between chaos and structure, where images are built, unsettled, and continually renegotiated."
