Wolf's Presence
Sean.Maloy@doc.ok.gov
Drugs controlled my life, and I was in a dark place, but I found my strength and power inside to fight back and to be strong like the wolf and not give up or back down.

Consuming Chaos
"consuming Chaos" where "consuming" was not simply a verb but also an entire state of being—consuming a way to cope with chaos and create more chaos in the consumption process. We cannot tell if the drugs are coming from or going into the ravenous state we get trapped in, but the hunger is permanent unless we get help.

My First Enemy
"My First Enemy" was not the worst lighter ever made, but the substances I used instead of getting the medical help I needed. I was addicted to caffeine and nicotine since birth. The lighter was just the one I thought I was angry with. If I had known I was suffering from ADHD at a young age, I could have managed my attachment to stimulants better.

A Hand in Time
One Person's hand or even their finger can affect time. My faith has changed my time from a life of drugs to a life with faith and heritage. I chose the timepiece as a dream catcher, and the crosses stand tall in the background.

Rebirth From Trauma
While dealing with domestic issues, I got addicted to drugs and alcohol and eventually landed in prison. My portrait is the rebirth, leaving my old self behind and coming out inexcusably myself, a new outlook on life, and not letting others or substances live my life. I am in control of my life now.
