VIKINGS AND GIANTS CHALLENGE

Hosted by Misha Oplev | Valhalla For Artists

The works below feature 14 entries (2 days per entry) of the Vikings and Giants Challenge throughout February. This challenge pushed me to understand when to stop and how to maximize the storytelling of each piece during the given time. This series is a story of a little Viking's journey after losing his mother, and all the emotions and catharsis he goes through after her loss. Whether it is moments of comfort, anger, nostalgia, loneliness, or relief! This also reflects on my emotional journey after experiencing loss of two dear people. Some of the characters resemble their likeness! Others depict and reflect a conversation with myself.
