AMAL

In times of loss, some turn to art for comfort while others create art to express their grief. In Amal’s case, art and music were what helped her process her mother’s loss after she had fallen ill. Through art and music, she began to see the light that she thought was forever dimmed and was fueled by creating mosaics that depict inspiring singers and performers. Amal turned her mother’s expired medication into a newfound passion and form of expression. “It took me months to even grasp the idea. I cannot say I am truly over it, but I am trying to cope as much as I can. I am learning."
