The Watcher

$525.00

I am not sad for myself.

I am sad for everyone else.

I see the evil that exists in the world. I see the fear that controls, the confusion that leads to compliant, the grief that goes unnamed and unattended.

When we do not allow ourselves to feel, we cannot see.

I tried to speak. I tried to warn. I tried to help those I loved see what I saw.

But I was ignored.

Shunned.

Isolated.

Exiled.

So now I sit quietly, and I watch.

The blue and red lines that run down my face are my tears and my blood. They are my grief and sacrifice intertwined. I would have given my life for my friends and my family, but they pushed me away. I pray for a mass awakening, yet I fear deaf ears.

Until then, I watch.

And I wait.

The Watcher is a spirit mask about awareness without power — the burden of seeing truth in a world that refuses to look. He is not rooted in self-pity, but in sorrow for humanity itself.

This mask is built directly onto structural remnants of felted wool left over from previous works. These pieces are intentionally left visible, honoring history, memory, and what remains rather than hiding it. The past quite literally supports the present.

The vivid yellow fissure dividing the face represents the fracture between truth and denial. Black-and-white striping reflects distortion and confusion — the way fear bends perception. The blue and red markings symbolize tears and blood, grief and sacrifice, compassion and violence existing side by side. The Watcher is not passive. He is restrained by exile. He sees everything — and must wait.
