About the art
A cosmic engineer suspended between worlds. The Sky Mechanic of Saturn carries the machinery of pain and the clouds of hope built from the fragments of recovery after five surgeries. A reflection of endurance reconstruction and the hidden work of healing.
Story Behind the Art:
I made this piece while I was recovering from five surgeries in five months. I felt trapped inside my own body, hidden behind pain and uncertainty. Creating it helped me survive those nights when I could not sleep or think straight. Every wire and cloud became a piece of that struggle, a way to make sense of what I was feeling. This art became my repair manual, my way of keeping the light on when everything else went dark. Gifted at Marfa 2025.
