proof

beyond optimism and pessimism - analog collage on A4 mixed media paper

After the smoke clears and the dust settles. When the uproar silences and the quaking quiets. After everything that's happened. After every ever-after. After every afterward. In between every ending is the proof.

The evidence.

The evidence of everything we tried to build, to hold, to create, to mend.

The proof of every attempt.

we voyage outwards - 5x7 analog collage on cardstock

Where chaos meets clean lines and geometry meets jagged edges, is the residue. The remnants. The ruins.

It's something raw and regale. Something poised and unpolished.

It's a testament to the fact that some part of us is still standing. Still ready. A monument made of where we've come from.

The evidence of all we've been.

The proof of a promise made of all we could still be.
