I made this piece shortly after my mom died. It depicts the moment when my cousin told me the news. I felt like something clicked inside. And the heaviness of the whole world hit me in the chest. I couldn't breathe for a moment. My head was clear. For the first time in god knows how long there weren't doubts, fear, there were no present, past, or future. Only numbness inside. And this feeling that something was covered with cracks there. I was whole but shattered.
