My drawing uses the sequential narrative of comic strips to depict multiple stages of mental struggle. Using a simplified representation of myself, I am able to articulate the feelings needed through physical mark making and color. I use watercolor, charcoal, and oil pastel to help process the emotions I am feeling within each panel. A consistency in each drawing is the expressive marks that correlates to the mind always ruminating. From uncertainty to clarity, each panel depicts a moment where I have struggled and come to terms with myself.

The armor of God is reassurance that we can stand up against our own evil. Knowing that even through uncertainty and doubt, if we keep looking toward the Lord, we can trust that the Lord will protect us, not only from the outside and physical space, but internally as well. We all have moments when we question ourselves and turn away but when we face the Lord, he will always show us the way.
