Artist Statement: Mourning is a process that everyone goes through at some point in their lives, whether it’s for the loss of a loved one or for wasted time and dreams. It is a natural response and can help us to come to terms with our grief. Although the shroud of mourning can be a very difficult and painful experience, it can also be eye-opening and beautiful and one that can help us appreciate life more.
