Passage of Grief

Valerie Rodelli


This piece was started shorty after the loss of a dear friend. I didn’t then realize that it was my personal statement. The darkest background parts at the bottom signify the darkest moments. The background color lightens toward the top, signifying the lifting of the grief. The colorful areas are the happy moments we shared.
