Bear My Cross

40 x 40 in | Mixed Media on Canvas

Bear My Cross is a raw visual confession — an abstract portrait of inner torment and emotional isolation. Built with layered textures, chaotic brushwork, and distressed symbolism, this piece reflects the reality that no one can ever truly know another person’s pain. Inspired by the emotional distance between human suffering and the unimaginable weight carried by Jesus, the figure’s fractured expression and turbulent background evoke a silent scream — a cry for empathy in a world quick to overlook struggle.

Phrases like “Wanna trade???” and “Being cutthroat cuts time” are embedded like scars — cryptic thoughts that surface in the storm of personal battles. Every mark on the canvas is intentional, yet unfiltered — a visual echo of carrying burdens that no one else can lift.
