Watercolor
2017
I found a set of antique frames I’ve been holding onto for years and filled them with watercolor Lifelines representing the aorta and vena cava, two essential veins to heart function. They are a contemplation on mortality that was evoked by a friend who was in a near fatal accident. I think it’s an important part of the human experience to consider death – it’s a part of life that is inevitable yet can be uncomfortable for most people to process including myself, having little experience with close friends and family members passing. I’m learning that sitting with the uncomfortable is a way to cope and eventually grow.
