Antithesis of A Revelation

Antithesis of a Revelation wrestles with the cyclical nature of grief and a newfound understanding of family. This work weaves together nearly a decade of lived reality with my own internal imaginings in an attempt to cope with my parent's separation.

Antithesis of a Revelation wrestles with the cyclical nature of grief and a newfound understanding of family. Set against a leveled midwestern horizon, this work weaves together nearly a decade of lived reality with my own internal imaginings in an attempt to cope with my parent's separation and the loss of my childhood home. 

A revelation is an unveiling of something unknown. Its antithesis is a conscious act of concealment– to deliberately hide or obscure information. Revelation is also a reference to the divine. Religious parables taught me to weave illustrative and awe-inspiring narratives from an early age. By intertwining the biblical stories of my youth with personal narratives and familial lore, Antithesis of a Revelation offers a cathartic examination of what it means to simultaneously grow together while drifting apart.
