Artist Statement:

What the Birds Knew is an exploration of intuition and resignation. The figure does not command the scene they are swallowed by it, observing and being observed by the creatures of omen. The corridor becomes a mental construct, a space that has flooded with memory or consequence. The birds are witnesses, symbols of knowing, not rescue. The water holds no reflection. Only weight. The red garment acts as both protection and warning. This piece is about the recognition of truth too late to change it, and the haunting quiet that follows.

Artist Statement:

Inheritance of Silence is a meditation on repression—of grief, memory, and unspoken legacies. The seated figure, swallowed in shadows, represents the passive inheritance of pain and identity within the four walls of tradition. The red fabric, breaking violently through the window, is everything unsaid. It is rage, love, lineage, trauma—alive and unfinished. The ornate frame, the classical setting, and the stiff posture evoke a room meant for remembering, yet unable to speak. This piece is about the moment before rupture, where containment can no longer hold what was never meant to be confined.

Artist Statement:

The Path of Undoing is an exploration of inner unraveling—a descent into the truth we try to flee. The red cavern is not a place, but a state of being: an emotional gullet carved from memory, shame, and fear. The birds are not just witnesses; they are the voices of the past, flapping violently with the weight of things unsaid. The lone figure is on a journey of surrender not in defeat, but in full exposure to their own darkness. To walk this path is to be devoured, reshaped, and reborn if one can survive the noise.

There are moments in life when the sky breaks open — not to bless, but to expose.

This piece is a meditation on the theater of isolation. The woman in red is not kneeling to pray — she is kneeling to remember. The crows gather not in menace, but in attendance, like sentient shadows of memory, holding vigil.

The ruined architecture mirrors the internal collapse of structures we once trusted — family, faith, even our own names. But still, the light comes through.

The dress extends behind her like spilled blood or unfurled lineage, and she does not turn to face the viewer — because the moment is not performative. It is private. And sacred.

This is for those who mourn quietly but completely.

Who know what it is to be watched by silence itself.

"Scribes of the Forgotten Concordat"

Two figures emerge from shadow, clad in ceremonial garb etched with the blueprints of a long-lost civilization. Neither fully seen nor named, they are archivists of a silence that has outlived its empire. The object they hold is not a weapon nor a relic — but a memory disguised as power. This piece questions what is preserved, what is obscured, and what narratives survive collapse.

Artist Statement:

Procession of the Forgotten speaks to the weight of inherited narratives and the individuals subsumed by them. Each cloaked figure is a whisper of resistance or surrender unclear if they are being led, fleeing, or vanishing into history. The uniformity of the robes suggests unity, but also loss of identity. The dark, tattered ground beneath them mirrors the internal cost of this journey. The viewer is invited to question their place: part of the procession or the last one watching it disappear?

Artist Statement:

This is not ascent. It is aftermath.

“All the Daughters Left Behind” was born from the idea that houses remember. And sometimes, they rot from the insidenot from mold, but from memory. The staircase is not a path upward, but a procession site. Each red mass on the steps is a silence, a story, a woman who was told to be quiet until she disappeared into wallpaper.

The figure walks not toward freedom but toward witness. She is not mourning them. She is them.

The light isn’t holy. It’s exposure. And in that light, the truth becomes impossible to ignore.

Artist Statement:

What do we inherit when memory rots in silence?

“Inheritance of the Forgotten” examines the burden of carrying what previous generations chose not to speak aloud. The red bundles below are not literal bodies—but emotional weight. Memories wrapped in shame, stitched shut, and left to decay.

The lone figure does not descend into ruin; she emerges from it. She walks with the cloth of silence trailing behind her, asking—what parts of our past are worth preserving, and what must finally be left to rot?

In this work, light is not redemption. It’s exposure. It is what happens when the secrets can no longer hide.
