Bearing Witness grew from thinking about how our histories shape us and how pain in one place can ripple outward. This piece acknowledges the strength it takes to see truth, recognize shared humanity, and show up with compassion. Burnt and altered metal leaf acts as an alchemical element within the work — scarred, transformed, and rebalanced — mirroring how we carry damage, resilience, and light through periods of emotional, environmental, and political uncertainty.
