Artist Statement:

This piece is about aftermath, but not retreat. The Return Path captures that quiet moment when a persona re-emerges, unbothered by the wreckage left behind. The Lamb is not fleeing it is returning, fully aware of its bloodied shirt and what it represents. There's no remorse, just re-entry. The viewer must decide: is this figure a survivor or a predator?

Artist Statement:

You can’t outrun memory when it walks at your pace.

“What You Walk Away From, Walks With You” is about aftermath without regret moving forward without needing resolution. The Lamb isn’t rushing. He isn’t hiding. But he isn’t free either.

The suit still bears the story. The eyes are hidden, but the posture says: I’ve made peace with the weight, and I’m still moving.

Artist Statement:

Some wounds don’t take...they transform.

This piece captures the instant after external judgment has been internalized not as shame, but as momentum. The Lamb doesn’t wear the red with regret. He wears it like a crown.

The mark on the mask, for me, represents the moment when a label becomes a weapon, and a victim becomes sovereign. He’s not walking away. He’s walking forward—toward you.

Artist Statement:

There’s a moment when the mask isn’t about concealment it’s about revealing what’s become permanent underneath.

This piece captures the Lamb not in action, but in awareness. He knows he’s being watched. He’s calculating what that means. The finger to the face is not innocence. It’s consideration.

What will you do now that you’ve seen me?

This image is the breath before the next move, and that tension is everything. It’s not horror in motion it’s horror in thought.

Artist Statement:

Identity is rarely forced it’s often volunteered. And over time, it becomes difficult to tell the difference.

“He Tightened It Without Thinking” is about the erosion of self beneath the performance of control. The Lamb doesn’t resist the mask. He adjusts it, reinforces it, perfects it. It’s no longer a costume. It’s routine.

The dirt is real. The blood is old. The fear is gone. Only the motion remains.

I created this piece to document what happens when ritual becomes second nature and when hiding becomes indistinguishable from becoming.

Artist Statement:

This piece captures the Lamb at the edge of transformation holding the mask not to remove it, but to fasten it. It’s the breath held in before the next act. There's no blood here yet, no overt violence just the quiet assurance of becoming. The corridor’s tight enclosure mirrors the inner compression of identity before release. What emerges after this moment is no longer human.
