"What Remains" captures the essence of resilience, reminding us that even after the storm has passed, there is beauty to be found in the fragments and strength to be discovered in the remnants. It is a visual testament to the human capacity to endure, adapt, and find solace in the face of life's storms.

The cracks in the white gesso serve as a visual representation of the physical and emotional fractures that you experienced in the wake of the tornado's destructive path. They mirror the shattered homes, lives, and sense of security that you had once known. Within these cracks, the intricate pen drawings emerge, like fragmented whispers, symbolizing your strength, hope, and determination slowly surfacing from the wreckage.
