  1. “Away, and mock the time with fairest show: False face must hide what the false heart doth know“

    Shakespeare

  2. This piece has real meaning for me. In the series, it is the final picture. Facing the terror let terror emerge. It was fantastic to draw that, the relationship is at its power. A perfect ending for the series.

  3. “To make any thing very terrible, obscurity seems to be necessary.” – Edmund Burke

  4. “Perhaps everything terrible is in its deepest being something helpless that wants help from us.” -Rilke
