this project explores the idea of healing and overcoming the loss of someone you love.

in april 2020 my best friend died. i frequently sit at the cemetery and talk until my brain runs out of thoughts. her death made me question my religion. i am constantly stuck in circumstances that force me to believe that god isn’t real but if he is, he hates me. each picture in this series displays a stage of grief. denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.

what i aspire everyone will gain from this series is hope. no matter what you do, you can’t rewrite the past or attempt to forget about it. embrace it. it’s a part of who you are now or who you will become. use your feelings to be creative and your emotions to drive you to be a better version of yourself.
