Portfolio: Heroes

Heroes memorializes those who have passed from COVID-19 and each person that was left without family support at the end of their lives due to governmental lockdowns. Heroes is dedicated to my Nana, a member of the latter group. I believe the people we lost are heroes; combatting adversity with courage and strength. The glass skull symbolizes our own mortality and how catastrophic our current pandemic has been. Sculpted forget-me- nots signify the cycle of life and how the world always continues after tough times. The medical mask represents the global pandemic.

The creation of Heroes was supported
 by ArtsNB's Arts Infrastructure Grant for New and Emerging Artists.
