Grief and losing a loved one is something that is hard to explain, hard to overcome, and hard to deal with. Everyone, at some point in their life, will ahve to deal with the pain of losing a loved one. For me, I lost my god-father two days before my birthday as a senior in college. I kept the pain and grief inside for a long time, I eventually needed an outlet to start the healing process. I felt as if I was falling apart and that I was losing a part of who I was. Getting stuck within my head and my thoughts was not enough for me to "hold it all together". This piece is a representation of the internal struggle that we al go through when losing someone whom tey were so close with. I felt that a piece of me was gone, and holding it together day-to-day was a challenge. This piece helped me process what I was going through, and my intention was that it would allow the viewer to see and feel what it is like to slowly fall apart. I hope that this piece allows the viewer to better understand how important those in their life are and to hold onto to them/ the memory of them so as to not "lose that piece".
This print will be a statement piece for any home, apartment, or business. A thought provoking print for yourself, a loved one, or to give as a gift.
