“Forgive Me, Save Me.” By Lo Reed

A homage to my late fallen grandmother who passed last year of cancer. This piece is a physical manifestation of my emotions of grief, as I witnessed one of the closest people to me pass of such an unfathomable human experience… death. The inevitable experience we all share and are guaranteed.

This painting explores the emotions that arise when confronting mortality. It touches on topics of forgiveness for the wrongs and “sins” one may have committed in this life, and the idea of being saved from what is to come in the afterlife. It also explores the idea of when death is approaching, but you’re not quite ready to let go or maybe when you are ready to let go.

There’s many ways this piece could be interpreted, as all art is understood through the viewers perception. If anything it’s just a reminder to be grateful for the life you are currently living.

Forever a part of me will feel like it’s missing.. But I trust I’ll forever be protected.
