Remedy presents a hand suspended in stillness, gripping a bottle that evokes both healing and dependency. The hues of blue and violet speak to suppression, of pain, emotion, and clarity, while the gesture hints at the fragility of relief.

The paired works, Replenish and OZ’s, reflect a dual reality. One gestures toward restoration, the other toward depletion. OZ’s, in particular, suggests a pouring out, not of life, but of vitality drained through unhealthy coping. The image becomes a meditation on how easily comfort can tip into escape.

Rooted in the lived experiences with quick fixes and deeper needs, Remedy lingers in the tension between pain and peace. It doesn’t offer clear solutions, but invites viewers to consider the quiet choices we make when survival overshadows healing.

Relief and restoration aren’t always the same. When pain becomes overwhelming, it’s tempting to reach for what numbs instead of what heals. But quick comforts often leave lasting wounds. True healing begins not with escape, but with honest surrender. Like a probiotic working beneath the surface, God often restores in quiet, unseen ways, layer by layer, ache by ache.

Scripture reminds us that even after loss or damage, renewal is possible. What feels wasted can be redeemed. The process may be slow, but God’s remedy doesn’t just mask the pain, it transforms it.

“I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten…”  Joel 2:25

Reflection Question
What would it look like to trust God not just with your healing, but with the process it takes to get there?
