Loss
oil on canvas, 18″ x 24″, 2018
A central figure holds her body in a protective, inward gesture, surrounded by bold bands of color that radiate outward. Streams of color fall from her eyes, carrying grief in a way that is visible, continuous, and impossible to contain. Within the form she cradles, a shared shape suggests two lives held together, present and absent at once. The work speaks to maternal loss through symbol and color, honoring the depth of love, grief, and what remains held within after loss.
