ID: A brown man’s face and shoulders are centered on a navy blue background, outlined in warm yellow tones. A large red rose covers the man’s face, with its dark green stem aligning with his neck. Vines and leaves streaked with red curl around the thorny stem. Set into the left side of the rose is a tidal wave in blue hues. On the right, the man’s closed eye shows through. On his cheek, wedding bands are combined in an infinity symbol.

ID: a brown person's torso centered on a half violet, half light blue background. There is a bouquet of white, red, yellow, and pink flowers where their face should be. Two brown hands with magenta nails reach toward their the person's chest. The person has a blue candle tattooed on their left bicep, a black club tattoed on their left shoulder, a purple spade tattooed on their right shoulder, and a silver hourglass on their right bicep. The top half of the hourglass is blue and the bottom half of the hourglass is violet

Embalmed || 14″x18″ || Acrylic Paint, Brush Pen, and Paint Pen on Canvas Panel

ID: A mountain reaches up to the heavens, surrounded in a yellow-orange glow. Set into the mountain on the right is a cave where a stick figure huddles near a warm fire. Worn like a necklace around the mountain is a gold band set with emeralds, sapphires, and pink tourmaline. Atop the mountain, a brown woman’s face weeps with closed eyes. Her black hair is wrapped in a green and bright pink turban. Her red lips are half-parted around the flame of a dark blue candle, centered between the mountain and her chin. A small pale blue waterfall spills from the bottom of the candle into the heart of the mountain, mirroring the larger waterfall with red streaks that spills down the left side of the canvas. The rest of the background is a purple-black sky.
