It’s become clear to me that I should spend some time thinking about making art concerning a topic that, due to recent events, has been haunting my mind for several months now: suicide. A friend of mine took his life a few months ago and I have a close family member who has inflicted self-harm and made threats of this nature. I have been pushing it aside for a long time and now would be a good opportunity to figure out exactly what I’m feeling and come to terms with it. I’ll do more research on past works soon–first I need to do some thinking of my own.
