What the River Kept

Do you know the story of Ophelia? She was a symbol of fragility in Hamlet but she lives on, everchanging, and becomes a symbol for all the times we're pushed into roles that someone else has created for us, all the times we are overwhelmed and drown in it and go mad from the weight of it all. In these paintings, Ophelia leaves expectarions behind and goes on, unfettered, unbound, unburdened, unbroken.
