The Moth
The Moth is a body of work painted on raw canvas that explores a visual representation of feelings and emotions that are held to old memories or beliefs I have had about myself.
In nature the moth navigates in the dark, hiding from the light. In the same way, our human instincts deal with our own emotions. In order for me to work through my emotional traumas that I held onto, I had to explore them in the light. Thus, breaking out of unhealthy ways of thinking. I learned to work on them and integrate them in a healthy way. This body of work examines this old mentality that I no longer believe to be true, creating my own visual language with which to express my inner self.
By creating a visual landscape of these feelings I am able to process and share these moments, creating a connection with the viewer.
