LIVING IN THE LIGHT OF HELL'S SHADOW

PUGATORY

Purgatory This body of work moves into a space defined by waiting. The figures exist in an in-between—neither here nor there space, held within a condition shaped by judgment, memory, and consequence. You may encounter gates, thresholds, or figures gathered in quiet anticipation. This is not a literal interpretation of doctrine. It comes out of a cultural and spiritual understanding of life as something measured—where actions carry weight, and where what has been done does not simply disappear. The space itself reflects that condition. Forms emerge and recede. Edges do not fully settle. The environment offers no clear resolution. Purgatory invites viewers to consider the moral space between innocence and consequence. The works suggest that our actions toward others leave lasting marks, and that reflection, judgment, and the search for redemption are part of the human condition.Purgatory does not define what comes next. It holds the moment before it.

Living In The Light Of
Hell's Shadow

This series moves along a threshold—purgatory as both place and mirror. With charcoal and torn paper, I construct gates, witnesses, and reckonings where harm and mercy meet. The fragments matter: judgment rarely arrives in a single piece. I’m not offering answers so much as staging a passage, where grace feels near and costly at once. We walk toward light, carrying what we’ve done and what we owe.
