Mom – 

Do you remember I used to be scared of cobalt blue, when I was little? It seemed to me like dark, endless water. But it was your favourite colour. You loved your collection of celestial blue cups so much.

Cobalt blue has new meaning for me now. It feels like rich, endless love. I want to wrap myself in it and watch the stars to be close to you.

This work is about falling apart from grief and coming together again, with the help of loved ones. The skull mask discarded, a part of the past. The rising sun vest, winged shirt, and cobalt blue cardigan, donned in its wake. The eye watches it all go by. Take it in now. Life is short.
