Mother by Mika “Haji” Dalbec
Acrylic paint
Meet the artist: Mika “Haji” Dalbec
Inspiration:
The unseen forces of invisible trauma will always be the extent of my inspiration. Especially those of the unseen child. The homeless, the parentless, the foster kid. The unwanted. Unclaimed.
What role does art play in your life?
Writing as an art form has a tremendous impact on my daily life. Art as a visual pushes out the trauma for which I can't find the words to write.
Artist statement:
Blank faces. Blank bodies. The restart that represents a blank canvas. All together, I want my work to show the meaning of dark forces that follow . . . the unseen child. The foster kid. @APoetNamedHaji
