Saudade, 2022

Saudade

Saudade is a word for a deep emotional state of nostalgic or profound melancholic longing for something or someone that one cares for and/or loves. It often carries a repressed knowledge that the object of longing might never be had again and or never existed.

Through my life experiences on navigating through grief and existentialism, my work explores the space between physical and spiritual realms. I work with a variety of mediums to allow for the creation of both realistic and ethereal qualities to portray this space between. I seek to inspire that we are eternal spiritual beings living a human experience.
