Without Leaving a Trace

Featured in ARCHIVES: Boundaries. This piece takes inspiration from the poem "Swarm of Gnats" by Hermann Hesse where I admired the juxtaposition of swarming insects to the collapse of human society. My painting explores these themes using imagery of flowing water and fly figurines. Water flows both in unrelenting and continuous ways, similar to how we as a society will fall and rise again.
