24x30" acrylic + charcoal on canvas, 2025
 
notes from this series: 
 
To survive the unravel
illusion falling away
Cause something much deeper
asks you to stay
 
To hold both at once
both heart and the sword
Your imminent collapse
this world cannot afford
 
What it takes to keep looking
cruel cycles of change
Take stock of the remnants
hold fast to your gaze
