Healing Through Grief

Acrylic gel prints on cotton fabric and paper, thread, matte medium.

2023

$125

This work consists of a photograph taken by myself, then printed on fabric using gel printing. The gel printed papers in the background are old hospital worksheets and forms, and the stitching represents my pieces of self being put together. This artwork expresses my recovery journey from hopeless to hopeful, and how in order to reach there, I had to experience great grief and let myself feel that grief.
