Grief Cycles

Photography 1 Project: Grief


Living inside a world of grief. Loss leaves you stunned, having your whole world ripped out from under you. Everything you knew and believed in is gone forever. It sets you on a path, denial, anger, emptiness. Then you come to a time that you live cautiously and ultimately detour off the path. It is a perpetual cycle, it never leaves you, even if you bury it deep within.

* A Few of My Favorite Things

The last picture of a happy moment at Disney between my son and husband. 4. Angel wings Christmas Ornament - a special ornament I have displayed on a shelving unit. 5.

Intertwined - Grief and Hope

  2D Project - create an image using 2 objects in various sizes to simulate foreground and background fading out of view.  For this project I used two Willow Tree sculptures created by artist Susan Lordi to compose my project. As a military widow these two sculptures hold significant meaning. The foreground is composed of more Hero statues as it signifies more of the immediate grief after suffering loss. As you move toward the middle there is hope and grief mixed together. The background contains more hope then grief as you begin to find yourself again and move forward in your journey.
