Do you remember how you felt during the inauguration of January 2025?
I created this RESIST series to externalize the tension I felt – the friction between chaos and peace, the dismantling of progress.
Painting was my zen space and regrounded me in my values: I taped sections of the page to ensure the darkness wouldn’t spread, sectioned and contained. Then, with wild marks, I let the frustration channel out of me. After peeling back the tape, I painted scenes from nature that bring me peace. Nature is the best designer. She thrives with diversity, interwoven co-existence, and is holistically healing. Some days, there was more chaos, and some days had more peace.
Resistance can be as simple as addressing the inner battles within us. It can be a practice in ensuring our values are intact, and that we don't let their chaos win.
