A buckeye butterfly specimen sits atop a juvenile chicken skull; bodiless winged mask atop a flightless bird; this is the peril of being told to overcome the impossible, and a mask that is worn that says “this is fine; I’m okay” when within I’m screaming to be seen from within the agony of chronic pain and the new agony that comes with rejection; the two sets of shouting rat bone mandibles.
This all depicted upon a bed of dried red rose petals I once got from an ex from a very archaic Valentine’s Day. Defiled trust fueled the already loud and raucous distrust of my own body, my suffering, my self worth and I had to “mask” a lot in front of them. Roses can symbolize a lot, but they cannot hold me the way I ask; roses are thorny, and tend to remind me of the sympathy over empathy our society gives far more easily to the ill and struggling.
The only thing I could have ever asked for was warmth, affection and the golden healing light of feeling seen and loved wholly for all that I am. Hence the work is framed within a rib cage-esque antique frame depicting a heart starved for love in deep-set suffering. It’s a piece that shouts; See me. Feel with me. Don’t leave me alone in this like so many have. It’s a brave stance to ask for visibility, but it’s much braver to know one’s worth enough to ask and be let in at all.
