ARTIST STATEMENT:

This illustration series draws inspiration from the seasons, serving as visual metaphors narrating distinct phases of my personal journey. Each season witnesses life’s transitions and transformation. 

Inspired by the grief of losing a baby through a miscarriage, the series captures my experience and confrontation with death and how my connection with the Pachamama (Mother Earth) becomes a vital companion, facilitating healing throughout the process. 

Through these pieces, I aim to share emotions and experiences where grief and pain are necessary. Finding comfort in the idea that, even in the darkest moments, hope can flourish and life can become beautiful again.
