She Holds These Truths · Arts for Vets
Grand Forks, ND. Through . While the piece is on view, sale inquiries may route via the venue. Happy to introduce you directly via the form below.
A woman in red gown surrounded by demonic shadows that reach toward her from darkness. The shadows don't attack. They reach. They exert pressure. Touch here isn't physical contact — it's psychological weight.
Performance is a tool for protection. The elegant dress functions as costume. But the chaos is already woven into the scene. It isn't invading from outside.
