Artist Statement: This work, titled “The Burning of Venus,” was inspired by the singer Mitski’s song, Nobody. The specific lyrics I drew inspiration from were “Venus, planet of love
Was destroyed by global warming
Did its people want too much too?
Did its people want too much?” Shown is my depiction of the goddess Venus, hands symbolizing her people, flame burning her, and her damaged heart.
