I'll be running after your memory forever







I made this drawing a few weeks ago trying to express a certain feeling of trying to hold the memory of my brother close and not let it leave. I was thinking of how it feels like the memory is intimately close, yet lightyears away. 

This is the first year I have attempted to make a picture describing that feeling, even if it didn't come out the way I envisioned it. There is a landscape of grief that only grievers know. 

I am grateful for art and drawings and poetry and music and everyone who attempts to express those ineffable feelings.
