Stripes-Shirey

Floating figures draped in colors and patterns of all kinds rang with loneliness and pensiveness as I gazed upon them.  The color of my paper is a deep maroon or burgundy, waiting for the depiction of emotion that would suit it. As I began to draw, the image of a floating specter with feet stripped of its flesh overtook the top left corner. The figure beneath it in the opposite corner looks up with a mournful and sorrowful gaze as if it witnesses a horrific death of a loved one. Between the two, a figure blowing in the wind is nothing but a faint outline walking in purgatory alone, watching the solid figures beyond with envy. This image as a whole represents the relationship between life and death, as well as the mystery of what is beyond the death of our bodies, and where our souls travel.
