Anxieities Collection- "Pushing Daisies" 
Cost includes shipping

Death, it’s what gives life its perspective. It has to be one of the hardest things we experience here on earth, the loss of loved ones, the pain often associated with it, and the fear that can plague our thoughts when we feel it’s inevitability. When I was considering which of my anxieties I wanted to include in this collection, death was the first and most significant to me. Many of my nights have been terrorized by its presence in my mind. Looming in the distance, or even more scary, just around the corner. It’s not so much that I fear it for myself anymore, but rather the ones I love.

Specifically, I spiral thinking about the death of my parents. Thinking about this world without them is an immediate and gut wrenching stab to my heart. I often think how lucky I am to have so much to lose, such an attachment that my soul is moved by the mere thought. I know it will be the hardest part of my life and I try my best not to dwell on it, to be strong, to keep faith. But at night when the house is asleep the thoughts make my heart ache and I often cry for the pain I know is coming.

However, I wanted this piece to have a hopeful undertone, one that reflects the complexities of the emotions, for love is the most powerful energy in our world. And at the end of the day, at the end of this life, I know that love does not die with them.

“Let the bloom have its season, let the skeleton sleep, let the love continue on, for the flower still lives where the roots run deep."

This is my largest piece I've made, it's framed in oak and hung with eye hooks. Chain can be added for no extra cost just let me know how you plan to display it.
