Artwork description

We cry when we’re sad. We cry out in anger, pain, or alarm. We cry in frustration, but we also cry tears of joy. Crying is a physiological response to a state of emotional intensity. We are often told as children to “stop crying,” yet there must be moments in our lives that demand this sort of response. And perhaps, in a time of climate crisis, economic instability, and social and political upheaval, this is it.
