Desiring bone

Flesh consumes itself

Desiring nothing

Earth swallows all.

In my artistic exploration, I delve into the profound journey of death, not fixating on its fleeting moment but unraveling the intricate process of transformation. The essence of my work lies in witnessing the disintegration of one form melding seamlessly into another whether plant, animal, or human until the body gracefully merges with the earth. Within this realm, equality prevails as our decay becomes the fertile ground for regeneration, birthing new forms.

At the core lies a desire to call forth death awareness in a contemporary culture shrouded in fear, a culture where open discourse about death is a rarity and where the departed are often veiled in taboo. In this climate, death is all too frequently perceived as a failure and a receptacle for our collective fear of the unknown.

My purpose is to treat death with tenderness, unraveling the extraordinary beauty inherent in the process of metamorphosis. Through my art, I extend an invitation for viewers to confront their fears, envisioning an alternate approach to death and dying one grounded in acceptance rather than denial.

Could embracing the inevitability of death reshape the very fabric of how we choose to live our lives? What if we considered our bodies as offerings to the Earth, expressing gratitude for the lives she has nurtured and supported? Through this contemplative journey, my work strives to encourage a transformative shift in our collective worldview a shift that embraces and honors the death-life cycle.
