In our treachery we trust

About This Work

In Our Treachery We Trust emerged out of both passion and rage. Passion for flora and fauna that evoke the holding of multiple meanings and emotions. The marigold is a symbol of peace, and the sun, a celebratory flower used in honoring life, unity and death around the globe. The raven is a a symbol the evokes love, fear, collaboration, rage. A treachery is a group of ravens, and the artist believes this is a compelling way to think about community in our current political climate. Black birds and floral motifs are common across tattooing styles.
