A Semblance of Solitude

• Artist Statement

  Grief is such a multifaceted topic that everyone deals with in a different way. I wanted to create a piece that had a bit of an ambiguous ending, but still related grief to escapism. It is crucial that everyone acknowledges the various ways that people grieve, so that we grow to be more understanding and supportive of one another.

• Creative Statement

  Creativity means emulating one's thoughts, experiences, and beliefs in any form that they feel fits them. I think we often confine creativity to having to be "unique," but uniqueness is simply something original and emotional.
