CRACKED EMOTIONS

Cracked portrays the inner struggles that we each go through, whether it is sickness, cancer, anxiety, depression, or at times when life takes us to a near-death experience. All of which define who we are as human beings.

In this work, the drying clay becomes a metaphor representing past or present struggles beneath each of us. In some areas, the clay is still soft & wet, and the struggles are fresh.

In other areas, we find that the clay has fallen away, allowing us to see the colors of our true selves & inner beauty that lies waiting to emerge. I want this to be seen as a symbol of rebirth. 

This visual story is not about hopelessness.

My intentions for this series of artwork depict the idea that our struggles are not permanent, and with time, we can find our inner beauty and a new beginning.
