Not Everything Happens For a Reason

This handmade banner I made for my printmaking final last year is all about strength through adversity, and the unique relationships we each have with coping and loss. I used three separate woodblocks to print on felt, and then cut and sewed all the prints together. . . I hesitated to post this because of the timing and the possible pessimistic tone. We’re all struggling in our own way right now, but maybe this will resonate or help someone who feels the same. Sometimes tragedy simply can’t be justified with deeper meaning. Sometimes life just sucks, and that’s ok! Everyone’s experience is unique. The weight of our struggles and losses can still help us learn and grow in the end.
