What sets you free? How will you create from a place of pure “youness”?

I am so grateful to Mrs. Death (as weird as that sounds) because the project of bringing her to life has – in its own way – set me free. There was something so incredibly liberating out of creating with a set prop and just letting your imagination run 100% completely wild. The best part is that I set aside my personal fears of judgement, tucked my head down and just created. At four images so far, Mrs. Death has taken a life of her own. She is dramatic, quirky, slightly humorous and caring. Just because she comes for those who are dying does not mean that she does not honor or respect the dead.
“Roses for the Dead” was created from a place of honoring those who’ve died and especially those who have passed with no one to mourn them. Mrs. Death comes to seek the dead with a red rose to honor their human lives.
I hope to be able to continue this project throughout the year. As a little girl, I have always had an interest in skulls and skeletons. I am grateful that my Mom never tried to change my interests or make me feel like something was wrong with me. Later on, I was judged for wearing my skeleton hoodie in July – someone walked up to me and told me that it wasn’t Halloween yet with a tone of slight disgust. I’ve never truly cared about such things but this person caught me during a vulnerable moment where that comment was like a seed planted in my heart. Basically, it was not okay to be 100% me – just the part that doesn’t weird people out is ok. Well, I am here to tell you (five or so years later) that being 100% me is the best feeling in this world and Mrs. Death has shown that to me.
Be free, be weird and most importantly be fiercely you because no one out there will ever come close.

Hold me tight, but please let go
Leave me alone, I can't let you know
Don't pay attention; look at the sky
I can't let you see my 'happy' eyes cry
Let me look into your eyes, never never never look in mine
Cus these sparkling eyes aren't supposed to cry

The series was inspired by the movie '300'. It was also inspired by this pix by Wanda X .
The editing was inspired by the song 'Savin' Me' by Nickelback.

As 2018 came to a close I want to express my sincerest gratitude for all that’s transpired throughout the year. Thank you to my family and friends who continuously come to my art shows and exhibits, who continue to support my journey and who have been there since day one.
My wish for you in 2019 as 2018 sets is that you find your truest joys and passions in 2019. That you commit to making them happen and live your happiest and truest life. My wish for each and everyone of you is for you to explore everything that there is to explore, to be curious and hungry for knowledge. I wish that you ardently desire to pursue what you’ve always wanted.
The world needs these shifts in perspective. The world needs you to pursue your deepest and greatest loves because you never know whose life you will impact the most. My wish for you is that in 2019, you set out on a journey of adventure and truly savor and enjoy each and every second of your life.

I cannot conquer my "demons" because I am my "demons" ... to conquer is to die... right? - me (yes I'm morbid. whatever.)
