Wild Reclamation Mix Pastel Painting. This piece reflects the overwhelming intensity of staying present when the heart is still heavy. The deep, textured red background represents the persistent heat of grief, a pain that doesn't just go away but becomes the environment you live in.

The figure is covered in a thick overgrowth of mushrooms and flora, but it is not a celebratory bloom; it is the weight of life continuing to happen even when you aren't ready for it. Painted as a trace of grieving, the work speaks to the exhaustion of "becoming" something new. It is about the struggle to find your footing in a landscape of loss, where even the beauty feels like a burden you are forced to carry.
