The Watcher - Needle-Felted Wool - 2025

I am not sad for myself.

I am sad for you.

I see the evil that exists in the world.

I see the fear.

The confusion.

The grief that goes unnamed and unattended to.

When we do not allow ourselves to feel, our spirit whithers.

I tried to speak. I tried to warn. I tried to help those whom I loved.

I was ignored.

Shunned.

Isolated.

Exiled.

Now, I sit quietly.

I watch.

The blue and red lines that run down my face are my tears and my blood. They are my grief and my sacrifice intertwined. I would have given my life for you, but you pushed me away.

There is nothing left for me to do.

I watch.

I wait.

I pray.

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.
