Seasons traces the cycles of chronic conditions, where each new treatment brings the hope of relief and the risk of the unknown. The work examines remedies that soothe for a time, yet demand something in return.

Am I truly healing, or simply coping with the effects of its stand-in?

  • Seasons chronicles a cycle of human effort, a pattern of masking pain through pharmaceutical dependence and seasonal illusions of wellness. Each frame ties a medication to a time of year, capturing not just the fragility of the body but the rituals we adopt to manage it. Through shifting palettes and granular textures, we see attempts at balance that ultimately expose deeper instability. Rather than healing, these efforts often reinforce a loop of temporary relief and deeper spiritual ache.

    This series sits at a pivotal point in Feet to Foundation, where striving meets its limits. What follows is not resolution, but recognition.

  • Just as the Israelites wandered in circles, trying to survive off of their own wisdom, how often do we also lean on temporary fixes? These works are not indictments, but confessions, quietly whispering “We tried.” When all the cover ups stop working, something more is needed. New seasons? Better medicine? Or maybe what we need is divine intervention.

    “Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.” Psalm 20:7
