Tears Of Blood (2021)

is a representation of a uncomfortable confrontation with mortality.

The tear of blood represents the way tears spent on the ones who leave the realm of the living feel like bleeding wounds that will never heal.

While the lack of emotion and arrows in the eyes represents the numbness that comes from a repetitive cycle of any trauma (death, physical abuse ,mental abuse) as the arrows have a continuous outlook on the future as a string of hope for something better
