Purgatory: Living In The Light Of Hell's Shadow
This ongoing series moves along the threshold between judgment and grace. I use charcoal and torn paper to build fragmented worlds that mirror spiritual uncertainty. Figures emerge from shadow, reaching toward redemption while burdened by history. The work contemplates purgatory—not as punishment, but as reflection: a place where the living and the lost share space, seeking light beyond consequence. It is both personal and universal, a meditation on forgiveness and the possibility of transformation.
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.
