Our Beautiful Demise

“Our beautiful demise will be of flowers wilted and left for hours from the fog of poisoned breath that came from your lies of death full of once loved, now abandoned life cut down by your broken knife.”
This collection has been a two + year exploration of self- quietly getting to know my worst nightmares like aged skeletons in my closet. It was through inviting them into my everyday, that I could allow these individual parts to weave together the delicate threads of my life that felt frayed and entangled, conjuring up a tapestry titled ‘Our Beautiful Demise.’
At a time where I had to pave a new direction in my artistic journey, this collection of 12 came as an opportunity to help conquer personal fears; to relieve myself from their weight over the everyday: closure.
‘Our Beautiful Demise’ speaks about personal fears, and the demise of what we are usually so comfortable with. Throughout the collection, we see a gradual breaking down of what held each character together.
