The art of melancholy

Exploring the relationship between beauty and fear, love and loss, within and without, and drawing on a range of personal and shared experiences, I attempt to uncover the hidden emotions and thoughts behind the masks we present to the world.

The shadow lurks in us all, sometimes pleading to be recognised as if to be understood, expressed, and contained.

Through pain we may find a deeper understanding of the self, and of love, if we allow ourselves to see what hides within.

To see what is sometimes terrifying to look in the eye.

I invite you to share my journey.
