“Does the Sun Shine There Too?” is a series of works that explores the depth of chronic anxiety, grief, sensitivity, and resilience through the subconscious. What began as a way for me to process the loss of my grandmother eventually became a release of suppressed emotions and illustrative metaphors. During the creative process, I have found glimpses of peace through continuing to question the world around me. I often feel inspired by what could possibly lay beyond our current existence, and if there is any hope for something greater. 

My work is rooted in expressing the uncertainty that I don’t always feel strong enough to face through a surreal visual language. Whether it’s through illustrations, collages, or paintings, I’ve found comfort in the unknown through this process.
