(Varón 2006) Inspired by the profound impact of Hurricane Katrina, this piece reimagines loss through the lens of movement and memory. I saw the bodies in the ocean not only as victims of the storm, but as dancers, suspended in time and water, moving between worlds.
In the background, the city lies submerged, lingering on the horizon, both witness and ghost, a haunting reminder of all that was lost.
I painted several versions of this vision, each one exploring the fragile tension between sorrow and resilience. I call them "Hope and Despair"—a tribute to the lives forever changed, the spirits lost, and the quiet strength that somehow endures.
