When Vain Ambitions Die (Gallery Show ~ April 2013)

Here are images of the artworks that I showed at The LGBT Center of Central PA in Harrisburg. The show took place inbetween the months of April-May 2013, and was titled When Vain Ambitions Die.

Description of the show:
The show “When Vain Ambitions Dies” centers on discoveries made through deep reflection and personal self-work. The images in the show represent insights that the artist has made in regards to establishing appropriate boundaries for healthy relationships. Through the use of personal symbolism the artist attempts to abstractly communicate skills that might enable intimacy and influence the decline of opportunities that would engage a person in situations beyond their concern. It explores what the artist considers to be necessary skills for authentic happiness and the dangers of neglect.
