This painting is a visual mapping of the body under duress. The abstracted anatomy, a skeletal, spine-like chain and lung forms detailed with intimate, handwritten memories, suggests that grief is worn on the inside, a collection of stories and aches contained within.

Contrasting this internal landscape is the small, lonely figure walking away under an umbrella, moving through a tumultuous yet brightly colored world. It speaks to the private, heavy effort required just to keep moving, just to breathe, and the daily act of carrying loss while surrounded by the persistence of life.
