Piece description from the artist
The inspiration for this piece came from my recent trip back home to Jamaica. I had returned home because my grandmother passed and we were in town for services and to celebrate her life. When I looked up in the sky I happened to see the clouds and it made me think about the gift of life itself. Photography is one of the ways I deal with grief and it often brings inspiration to know that life is a journey and a gift. I am a classically trained artist and for me composing a shot that tells a story is often what I lean on when considering what to shoot. For anyone that sees this I want them to take away that no matter what life throws at us, it is up to us to make ourselves happy.
