A Note on the work:

I’ve endured much grief in my life. I’m glad to be past much of what was holding me back I have a lot to look to the future towards and I’m quite excited to set off with a new sketchbook. I’m looking to make this place a chronical for my sketches/art and poetry. If you have any advice that would be appreciated. I’m looking to grow as an artist.

Let hang out,

In picture frames lined across our stairwell.

In the walls we compromised the color on,

The wood grained texture is best

Yet, other moments fit just as well in dollar store frames we’ve kept since before even begun to save, in a studio apartment dining over ramen listening to the vinyl collection built from scattered shops.

I imagine I’ve taken most of the space that fills them with cameras that stagnant and broken on a book case in the living room. Just as much I like the ones you thought I would never print out, self portraits on taken on phones, some with a camera you bought or I’ve let you barrow.

Above that framed with our friends around fires and road trips I couldn’t even begin to think would be captured.

There you are next to my mom, I am next to my dad.

Next store, your family sitting in a cozy cafe.

Perhaps my mom next to yours.

On this wall our family merge because just above.

In rest, a photo of our families merged.

This mosaic, a twenty-something year old. “Work in progress.”

Sitting before you.

Designed by all eight billion intersecting artist; breathing life into all the groves, edges and curves.

Each color a representation of: a favorite way to cook ramen, a spontaneous dance in the rain with friends in the village green, a memory playing chess on a high rise kitchen table or even just a moment spent in silence where everything feels clear again.

I, a mosaic; with each tile bringing the work in a new direction and flow.

Unique in shapes, lengths and widths. With artist of their own.

Though, by far. My favorite tiles have been the ones you’ve added. My only hope is you add more.

How can I heal from this? By Cayden Larrosa
