k̓esúsem - not yet in x̄á’islak̓ala
this series is about the time we have with our beloved pet companions, and how it never feels like enough. these have been made during a time heavy with anticipatory grief, being told that my sweet cat Prudence has maybe a month left in her journey here with us. these pieces are about hope, love, joy and enduring connection.
i have been reflecting on our lives together and how much she means to me, and appreciating every moment we have. given the heaviness that surrounds this theme, i’ve smudged these pieces a lot. i hope these remind you of the good times and not only the hard ones, and help you carry the load of grief knowing so many of us go through these feelings.
i just happened to make 14 pairs for this sale, one for each year she has been alive :*)
