Client: AARP Media/The Girlfriend
Art Director: Dian Holton

About: An illustration for AARP story about a woman finding out about the death of her ex-husband. The news brought back memories of the abusive relationship, a collection of  fragments that reminded the narrator of the passage of time.

"I’m in the season of life where I find myself examining my mortality more often or differently than I did in those bulletproof 20s and 30s. I didn’t mourn Steve’s passing, but it triggered some angst over what my life with him had been and regret for the years spent with him. I mentally relived some of the trauma. "
