GRIEF

An emotion we all experience, but one many are ill-trained to navigate when confronted
with death and dying. This work takes an unflinching look at those experiences.

●     A funeral pyre in Katmandu is juxtaposed with a tray of recently slaughtered animals for sale in Mumbai. 

●     A disemboweled, baby, bird baking in the hot NYC sun is compared to the euthanasia of the artists’ first and only dog. 

●     A dead cat discarded on a Delhi sidewalk lies next to the imminent death of a partner of 19 years.
