There are things in life that end but never really disappear. Sometimes the scars seem to resurface over and over.
Relationships, experiences, and chapters of our lives may come to a close, but their echoes remain. Sometimes those remnants show up as anxiety, worry, or scars that seem to have no expiration date. Other times, they stir something unexpected. Excitement, determination, or the fire to move forward.
I created No Sign of a Grave while reflecting on the things we carry long after they're gone. The way the past can linger without a clear ending, and how those same experiences can become the very things that push us toward change.
There's a tension between holding on and moving forward, between what haunts us and what drives us.
This painting is about that space in between, where something may be over, but its impact is still very much alive.
