Abstract
This composition recollects some of my youthful memories while also exploring the transitory state of life. On this journey, I unearth latent personal philosophies that have evolved and matured over time and still continue to do so. My artwork mirrors the texture of life by utilizing unique processes to navigate an empathetic exploration into my past. Rumination provides an unlikely perspective into its animal subjects, which were harvested during ritualistic practices of hunting. Seeking everlasting life in a fleeting world, my work suspends and preserves nostalgic moments from my past while using the universal language of death.
