Guardians of the Quiet

Description

Guardians of the Quiet explores the emotional presence of my “other friends”, unseen figures that represent comfort, protection, and the complicated emotions we carry. The small child surrounded by towering shadow forms reflects the vulnerability of childhood and how overwhelming emotions can feel. Although the figures may appear unsettling, I see them as guardians and companions, reminding me that even in moments of loneliness, I am never truly alone.

Artist

I work mainly with charcoal on drywall to explore emotions, memories, and the unseen parts of ourselves. My artwork focuses on the connection between fear, comfort, loneliness, and protection, using figures to represent these feelings as a physical form.
