Thoughts behind the artwork...

Adversity is a part of life for all too many. For some, adversity is more pronounced... it's presence more acute. Over time, it can cause a person to feel as if they are somehow different from the people surrounding them. It can warp and twist perceptions of self. Given enough time and severity, prolonged exposure to adversity can create a sense of alienation from those who may not be exposed to such things. One who suffers the effects of adversity for long periods of their life can find themselves asking "why me?" to whatever powers that be. This is dedicated to all who have found themselves in this situation at one time or another.
