I made this piece during transition. It was a process of leaving behind in both the physical and mental sense.
Emotional duality was a major influence in this work. As I moved through a stage of closure and onto new expansion, the concept of the human as a container of opposing forces struck me.
We're constructed to understand emotions as singular. I wanted to explore the idea that contradicting emotional states can and do coexist in harmony. I wanted to honor the process of detachment from our innate fixation on isolated feelings.
This work represents the evolution of emotional processing through the natural upheaval our experiences offer.
