“Mourning a Memory” symbolically depicts the act of reminiscing about past experiences. The composition’s reflective quality breathes life to the dead branch, skull, and empty bottle, which now serve as shells of what once was, evoking a profound nostalgia and loneliness. The weight of the shadows within the artwork deepens this melancholic atmosphere — a funeral for past experiences. The embrace of the metal pipe entwines the different elements, allowing viewers to ponder the intricacies of memory and the human experience.

I use creativity as an endless source of inspiration and freedom that fuels my daily activities and endeavors. Creativity allows me to not only express myself and discover more about me but also helps me turn my dreams into a reality.
