When We Mourn What Once Was

$0.00

Oil pastel and soft pastel on paper

A solitary figure rests beneath an abstracted form that suggests both anatomy and structure—at once protective and oppressive. The composition evokes a state of suspended mourning, where loss is not dramatic but quietly endured.

Vivid color contrasts with emotional stillness, reflecting the tension between memory and presence. The work speaks to the experience of grieving not a single event, but a former self, a vanished certainty, or a life that can no longer be returned to—only remembered.
