La Pieta
I'm a paFrom 2000 to 2003, I worked on my final project for Hampshire college. it was a painting ehibtion titled "Iconoclastic icons; an agnostic's worship and it featured representation of religious art from christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism and Judaism. this particular piece was my reimagining of michelangelo's famous sculpture, the madonna della pieta or also known as just pieta. I had given this painting to my father in 2003 but needed to take it back because he was moving to a location that could no longer accommodate an artwork of its size. the painting was quite dirty and had discolored due to the copious amounts of galkys i had used in its creation. i cleaned it and repainted it this summer, restoring it back to some of its original presentation. ragraph.

In the Spring of 2022, my mother for whom I care, had a GI bleed in which she had to be emergency intubated. A month later, her legs swelled, blisters appeared and popped. We saw a lot of Dr.'s to try and figure out what was going on with her. Turned out she had kidney disease and we started going to a wound care clinic every week, with a visiting nurse coming in between to change the dressings. After 10 months of treatment and using lymph edema pumps every day for an hour, the wound healed.
We had an abundance of leftover supplies and like an innovative artist, I am always looking for ways to turn pain and obstacles into something more. Something people can learn from and witness.
