The Will

““Hands vermilion, start of five. Bright cotillion ravens dive. Nightshades promise, spirits strive. To the living, let now the dead…come alive. As sudden
thunder, pierces night. As magic wonder, mad affright. Rives asunder, man’s delight. Our ghost, our corpse and we rise to be. As flies the lizard, serpent fell.
As goblin vizard, at the spell. The buried, dead, and slain…rise again.”
The Will | 34×48

Beetlejuice is one of my biggest sources of inspiration. I have often questioned, what life is going to be like after I leave this planet. I believe there is heaven
and a hell. The summer Of 2021 I was in a Car Accident. Avoiding debris on the highway, my car spun 360° hit the median. I don’t know if it was a
adrenaline rush but I never closed my eyes. I felt a level of regret being late to this event. No one else was harmed but my car Totalled. so I drove the
remainder of my car to Camp North End and met my friend. When I first entered the Exhibition I had a very high level of anxiety due to just getting out of a
car accident and this song titled “Sing by Guy Sigsworth and Imogen Heap” played and all I could do was close my eyes and terror.
I felt as if I was Steven Universe inside the cluster. I could not stop shaking from the music. Suddenly the sound broke and the room turned yellow. I could
not stop smiling and I was immersed in the art itself. I could never explain how Working at the Vangogh Exhibition helped me cope with talking in front of a
audience. On one half of the artwork is my last will and testament. And on the other half is my bucket list. This exhibition allowed me to be immersed in my
pain in the most positive light the skeleton that sits in the for front of the image, is what I explained to everyone. It is the one thing we all share, As fragile as
it is. Everyone is unique and everyone is special.”
