can't end on a loss is the coalescence of navigating the world through grief tinted screens and the Missouri landscape. Inspired by power grids, clotheslines, pennants, Minecraft, and our loved one's precious pixels, can't end on a loss is a work that celebrates existence in all states of being. Moments of wind, a reminder of your non-visible presence. Zooming into the pixels that make up your face, so you are as big as the world. Every data cable, a stream in which you may lie. “Can't end on a loss” is a phrase used often in digital spaces, in which you must keep going until you inevitably win out of sheer desperation. Trudging through what appears as endless defeats, to know there is a victory within your grasp. In my case, a trust that as I continue to exist, my loss of Jimmy's physicality can't be the end, it is merely now recognizing his meaning to me in everything. Many subtle victories through micro-dosed grieving sessions, to finally see the sun through the trees and shed tears of joy. This work's structure references multiple forms of flight such as ornithological wings, angel wings, and the elytra. All examples of ways to defy the traditional laws of physics and existence; items that allow those who possess them, the ability to come and go from the world's surface. This work is a celebration of finally being victorious in the end.
