'THE ONES WE LOST ALONG THE WAY'
Compelled by the use of art as a therapeutic technique, my work aims to honour the one’s lost to suicide. My practice employs a creative process of portraiture and digital media, to share with audiences the family’s personal testimonies. Obliging the audiences to question societies pre-conceptions and the injustice of a stain saddled to one’s repetition. The main theme of my work is the manifestation of memories, often clouded by a premature end, exceeding them through the families. Artistic expression is used as a means to challenge societies lack of understanding and often ignorance towards people who take their own lives. The work creates a visualization of unwarranted stigmas, often inherited by the families, and illustrates the presence of an absence in their futures.
