Where myth meets melancholy and light

I work in the space where something inside you shifts — but you don't yet have language for it.
My paintings make people want to write poems. Sometimes they make people look away because they can't hold what's unraveling.
I think that's because the figures already know something the viewer is still working out about themselves. Or chose to bury for comfort.
