authenticity: a visual art series by Steph Russy

Artist’s Statement:

"Authenticity is what we desire to be, but don’t always possess the courage to be. Being authentic is a constant strive for me. I’m a lover and a dreamer, organically. Dreams, like love, are alluring. They draw us near and near, with the appeal that we shall one day be one, with them. Maybe we will or perhaps we won’t. This collection is a journey traversed through love and dreams and the results of it. 


Each piece encapsulates emotions erupting within me, during desperate times of need. This collection ranges from the fury impatience brings to the subtleties of love’s complexities. These works represent the beauty in it all. Though only seen in retrospect."
