About this artwork

Loss is an inevitable part of life when we have deep relationships, whether with people, animals or causes. While I sense the grief of the woman in this piece, I am also connected to the light of the blue that surrounds her and the heat of the base that supports her. Strong feelings can be balanced with hope and a celebration for the capacity to feel. I carry my dad's wisdom that we cannot choose which feelings to embrace. We feel or we don't feel, and the absence of feeling is a loss itself.
