Moon Absence. 2020

Limited edition set. Edition of 25.

This work, personal in nature, deals with mental health struggles. It reflected the artist’s state during a depressive episode that resulted from heartbreak. The portrait encompasses the layers of emotions that were too complex for Arzola to put into words and thus found a visual expression. The figure pierced by a crescent moon, represents human fragility which can hold both strength and beauty. By channeling heartbreak into creative energy, the artist reaffirms the strength often found through pain and struggle.
