This piece was created during the time my dad received his cancer diagnosis. I was flooded with overwhelming thoughts of what could happen, and this painting captures the emptiness and void I felt in that moment. The work became a way to process and release some of that heavy emotion, giving form to feelings that were hard to put into words. Thankfully, my dad is now cancer-free, but this portrait stands as a reflection of that intense moment and the emotional weight I carried through it.
