Grief Elixir
A wipe of teary eyes,
a prayer with my soul for you to
re-appear in my dream
With this sculpture I wanted to highlight the process of grief. It is not stationary; it has the structure of a wave—unpredictable and strong. Elixir has a positive connotation, and although the tears are released here through the drip, traveling through the body, they accumulate in the jar. Despite grief moving through you, and being fully felt by the body and absorbed by the mind, it stays with us forever as a constant reminder of this natural human experience.
