Many of the works on Simply DARK represent a turning point for me. Here I channel the pain I once took out on myself into a healthy act of catharsis by embracing and confronting the struggle within.

In sharing these works, I hope to show another way to cope with self-destructive instincts, rather than taking our pain out on ourselves.

These works do NOT glorify, encourage, or support self-harm or suicide. If you or a loved one are struggling,  resources are below.
