The Long Hours

"The Long Hours"

Victor Hugo said melancholy was the happiness of being sad. Poe famously "fell in love with melancholy."

My recent work depicts the beauty in the bittersweet. The loveliness of longing. The brightness in the despair of waiting. The small hope held in the bleakness of time.

This is one of the truest and most personal works I've created, and I hope each viewer enjoys creating a story surrounding her, as much as I have 🤍
