Caution is a word of warning; this is not a warning but an effort to create understanding. Everyone suffers powerful emotions that last a lifetime; some push these feelings under rugs, never to see light again causing painful consequences. Others channel these deep and heart breaking thoughts, memories, and impulses into a more constructive outlet. The story behind this image is not unique; it is one we all share. It expresses our inherent vulnerabilities. Although there is a collective human component to this piece, let us not forget the individual from which these demons were harbored. That individual was me. This piece captures the darkest emotions of my life thus far and my search for a creative outlet. The release of all these negative emotions becomes empowering for the creator while inspiring hope and unity in all its viewers.
