36x48 inches
Charcoal from Mariposa and Lake street, acrylic, oil stick, limestone, sand, plaster, pencil, coffee, and paper. Unframed, copper edges.
Layers of natural materials create a “rock wall” meant to serve as a symbol of resilience— not a return to what was, but the building of a stronger foundation , both within ourselves and for our recovering cities. This piece honors what has been lost without letting loss define what comes next. It speaks to carrying memory forward--compressed into strength, steadiness, and resolve--and using what remains beneath us to propel us onward. Moving on does not require forgetting--it requires choosing to stand, build, and continue.
