Dedicated Poem:
This poem accompanies the artwork, weaving together the heavy stillness and blurred edges of early grief—a landscape where denial settles like dust and tension crackles beneath the surface, foreshadowing the fierce energy yet to come.
In the suffocating stillness after thunder’s retreat,
denial forges its mute barricade—
a brittle, desperate shield
against the relentless, gnawing void
of your absence, saturating every breath.
Emotions unravel violently,
torn from their anchors,
hovering at the precipice of truth,
while reality dissolves—
a warped, unreachable landscape
where time itself is suspended,
aching for footsteps
that will never echo again.
Beneath this brittle calm,
the air thickens with dread—
a storm of tension coils in the darkness,
raw, volatile, electric—
as if the earth itself clenches its fists,
bracing for the inevitable rupture
that will shatter the silence
and lay bare the wound beneath.
