SCULPTURE
My creations are my tangible sorrow. The sudden loss. The ever present veil of absence.
How do you get someone to feel your experience, your grief, to empathize? The emotions?
I can’t. Last year, my son died. I now understand that there will always be a disconnect in conveying my grief to most people because those of you without that experience have the privilege to walk away and forget, returning to your own lives. You can choose not to be consumed by it. You can shut it out whenever it becomes too uncomfortable or too much.
This is merely a peep show to everyone outside of that experience. It does not really affect you. But this is inescapable to me.
Imagine how different it would be if it was the person you care more about in this world. Someone you talk to every day.
The silence. The absence. It consumes everything.
