Echoes || 9″x12″ || Acrylic and Ink on Watercolor Paper

brown hands reach from a black background at the bottom of an hourglass to a fiery tree at the top of the hourglass. the tree is drawn in blank ink. outside of the hourglass, the left half of the background is deep violet and the right half of the background is navy blue.

a face in profile on white multi-media paper. feather-like auras in purple, yellow, teal, and orange hover across their face. their hair is black, with multi-colored highlights that match their auras. a series of multi-colored rings line the far right of the page.

Self-Auras || 11×14″ || Sharpie and Brush Pen on Mixed Media Paper

on a pitch black background, a bright scarlet sun hovers a third of the way down the page, off-centered to the right. in the foreground, a figure with an outstretched arm is dressed in blue and purple. a face sketched in pencil could be their true face, a mask they were, or a design on the back of their hood.

Summoning the Sun || 8″x10″ || Brush Pen on Copy Paper

a five-sided shape has two white hands in its center, like a clock at 900 hours. the second hand is a white scythe tipped with red, approaching 30 seconds. the "clock-face" is opaque black, save for the upper left quadrant that is red. in the red quadrant, a black coffin with a white cross are pointed at the center of the clock-hands, not quite upside down. three white ripples extend across the clock face on either side of the second-hand scythe into the black. the background is a murky/muddy gray-red-black.
