When life becomes unbearable and there's nothing left to do, I'll make vases to hold my tears and save them all for you.
I have a difficult time understanding my feelings unless I can see them. That's why I'm an artist. Despite my efforts to focus on all the good in my life, I couldn't ignore the tragedies going on around me in 2024. A mysterious sadness built up day by day, I couldn't shake the feeling of wanting to explode. Or fall off of a tall cliff, whichever was easier. The year berated me and tortured my heart. The world seemed so cruel at times, my friends were dying and nothing made sense. When it got so bad I didn't know what to do, I thought if I could see the pain maybe I could understand it better. I made vases to hold my tears with scenes from my life. They're translations of my grief and my dreams of happiness.
