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.

I explore the intersection of memory, identity, and psychological narratives, using nature's unpredictability as a foundation. By balancing chaos and form, I craft abstract, atmospheric compositions that challenge familiar perceptions and invite viewers to reflect on the evolving nature of self and reality.
"For me, painting is a way of holding fragments of self together, even when they don’t quite fit."
