LION

Procreate and Photoshop, 2023

“LION” is a very personal piece about a past relationship that permanently altered me. I continually struggle coming to terms with the past and how it affects me now; this work is my first big step to strengthening my grip in regard to what I went through.

“I almost fucking died. You’re the fucking reason I can’t drive without imagining someone crashing into me and finishing the night that you started. You’re the fucking reason I can’t stop catching glances of you in other men who look vaguely like you even though I’m 93 miles away. You’re the fucking reason my stomach knots whenever a man gives me a high five. You ruined high fives for me you fucking douchebaguette.”
