sacrifice

welcoming the halloween month with a dark, satirical sacrilegious of a piece. this work explores the visual mechanics of religious zealotry and forced conformity through grotesque subversion. it’s an interrogation of hypocrisy: how those who claim divine authority often consume and destroy anything that strays from their doctrine, all while wearing a smile.

growing up in a catholic household and christian schooling, i witnessed firsthand the extreme intensity of devotees: how easily they’re manipulated, how violently they react, and how desperately they cling to hardcore traditional dogma just to escape hell. the mental abuse and brainwashing i endured in school was atrocious, but my natural stubbornness saved me from falling in line. even now, i get in trouble at work for refusing to put on the fake smiles and small talk required to keep up appearances. as a child, i realized early on that the adults labeling themselves "holy" and "children of god" were always the first to disrespect anyone who dared to think differently. i was supposed to look up to them as a role model but they were my first bullies in my life. they enjoyed shaming and humiliating those who were outside of their norm, preaching how others views will be the reason they would go to hell and burn for eternity.

i've become everything they warned me about, but unlike them, i don't need the threat of a god to choose kindness or do good. this isn't to say all religious people are bad—it's a reminder that if your faith relies on hating those outside of it, you have no business claiming moral superiority. after all, in the end, we all return to the exact same dirt.

please do not lean

a part of my earlier pieces stuck inside the sketchbook i didn't allow anyone to open except myself.

"just as water flow slows down near the bottom due to friction, air flow slows near any solid boundary. it even slows down near the surface of the water, which is why wind measurements are often standardized to a height above the boundary." - science of surfing

you were always curious to see what lies in between the pages.

distance

"you are a rare wonder birthed by the universes, you breathe in cosmos and exhale out the energy..." the astrocosmic yearning still lingers after being verbally detached from each other. sometimes i wish my feelings didn't run deep like the uncovered mysteries of life.

runnin'

earlier this year, i learned i can't keep running away from things that bring me discomfort. as much as i would like to disappear, deep down that's not what i want: i want to feel loved, wanted, needed, understood, and accepted. these things aren't easy to come by and whenever i sense rejection my initial reaction is to run. time moves forward regardless if i'm ready or not. i try to give myself grace and try to take breaks but eventually i know that i have to keep on the path that i yearn to shape me and face the things that i'm avoiding. i'm stubborn yet unwillingly resilient enough to survive through everything.

revelations 12:7-10

i fear god has casted me out into this chaotic world. regardless, i have to take ownership of my own landing. i have to do the work i need without tearing others down to achieve it. the angels don't always have a safety net around me, so i try to tread carefully yet fearlessly. they all watch as i fail and bring myself up again in spite. so to whom do i have the pleasure of thanking after all of this is done: the divine forces or myself?

flowers

creating this piece made me reflect deeply on transitioning and what so many of us go through. the struggles are heavy and while most people only notice the external changes, the real work happens underneath. beneath all the layers of guilt, shame, imposter syndrome, and religious trauma, i know i am my most authentic self as i bloom into the person i am meant to be. transitioning is rarely a departure from the self, though for me it feels more like reassembling myself with the right pieces of my own puzzle.

let go

structure holds me back and keep me in the right direction at the same time. too much feels like i'm trapped in a cage of my own consequences, too little gives me impulse that can drive myself out of control. are we supposed to be bound by our own limitations to keep swerving off road or live freely without keeping track?

i suppose the proper answer would be a balance between both and that is what i am learning in my life. not everything needs to be perfect or needs to make sense. regardless of how much thought or effort i put in, i can't help to be misunderstood by people who don't care to comprehend. but what am i to strangers anyway? we are all just countless bodies living on a floating rock trying to survive everyday.

borrowed time

all the adults warned me not to want to grow up so fast as a kid. i wish i listened to them but i didn't understand the implications and responsibilities of what being an adult would be like. i'm still trying to figure out the pure, unscripted happiness inside the structured bounds of growing up. getting older never becomes easier as time goes by. the minimum standards and goals keep moving forward as i am about to celebrate myself making one step forward into maturity. is this really the life that i am subjected to? fuck being constricted to a desk for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. and then only will i have the permission to play outside on the weekends where i am supposed to be prepping for a new work week. it's ridiculous isn't it?

out of frame

we learn to perform before we even learn who we are.
why does society get to dictate who we should be? i despise the world that often pushes our limits with societal pressure to please others for their peace of mind. i feel trapped in a body that i don't consider to be mine yet.

my skin should thicken as i absorb all the negative fallacies that are thrown at me, although i am just another human being like anyone else: someone that feels, that needs, that wants, that dreams, that is constantly stuck in survival mode repressing my whole identity.

when the world's script leaves no room for your authentic self, at what point do you step out of the frame?
