Untitled•2025 . To be an artist means to let the world see you bare; ribs exposed, nothing but nerve endings to rely on. We act as a looking glass for the outer shell- I started this piece last Fall, a year after my last break up. There was no clear intention on where I was going with it, just that it needed to be “done”. I committed myself to each task; transferring the sketch to paper, re-reading old texts to add to the background, burning it, to eventually deciding to bind it onto canvas. Each aspect of it coming at a whim. I went back and forth; letting it have different versions of me, as I did with it. I never thought I’d share this piece-let alone on Valentine’s Day. Through each needle punctured finger, endless nights filled with tears and frustration over memories -I pulled through. Art demands sacrifice, Art demands devotion. This piece has seemed to create a life of its own. Although born of heartache, it acts as a commitment to the healing journey that comes after. From the heavy glares of beadwork, to the harmonious tenderness of togetherness-let it encapsulate you. I had a friend tell me there’s something very Cathartic about break up art-I find tragic comfort in that. Happy Valentine’s Day 🫀

Promise the bloods not mine 🩸 . Vampire study to kick the year off 🫀🫶🏼 missed doodling glitter “blood”

The Creature•2025 . Portrait study from what may be my favorite movie of this year. I like to believe we find a little of Frankenstein living inside all of us. Creatures to a gruesome yet beautiful world. The elegance of being everything yet nothing at all. We play at fate’s door with gifts of creation as if we are god-but in a way, aren’t we?

Work In Progress•2025 . When butterflies get their wings it’s assumed they have reached full growth. Unlike them-wings and all-I swallow myself back into a cocoon; readying myself for the next stage. My evolution as an artist is constant. There is no such thing as reaching my “full peak” because the loop is everlasting. The sacrifices and devotions I make for art will continue to create new breakthroughs for myself. Meaning I will continuously transform with it. I enjoy the never ending cycle of death and birth-as an artist and human-even in its tragedy I find solace. This piece was made for my art exam; the prompt being based on my artist identity and how it’ll grow in the future as my academics continue in my field of work.

Divine purity is the fastest way to heartbreak **•

“BAD” dog •2025 All bark, all bite-Yet hidden within resides a small child yearning to be held. Brought down by a system of generational trauma. Forced to swallow their tails in order to fit into a social ideal. Never enough-never to be enough. We assume only girlhood is tough. A piece dedicated to the angelic destruction of boyhood/what it means to be “man”. Inspired by men trying to break the curses brought down upon them-and to the men in my own life who have shown me brotherhood despite not being born into it.

Unholy•2025 . “Unholy” is the child dedicated to an art destined to fail. “Unholy” is the child who questions creator. “Unholy” is the nickname that falls off my pastor’s tongue like the lies he tells.

Resilience•2025 . Resilient are the ones that continue to run from the dangers of the world and carry on with head’s held high, ambitions steady. Made for my art class as a form of response art. I made this piece after reading about how art therapy is used to help those in the LGBT+ community.
