Abstract
Artist Statement
"The inspiration for this piece began in my Life Drawing course that I took in the fall 2023 semester. Our assignment was to draw an open composition of a skeletal figure in class to understand anatomy. When I completed the piece, it really spoke to me. The composition, posing, and the fact that it was just bones aligned with themes in some of my other works about loneliness. This piece also reflects giving everything you have, even your bones, yet still being lonely with no one and nothing around you."
