This piece came from a very personal experience of loss and mourning during the swift dissolution of Isa's family after her mother’s death. Collaging this piece was a meditation on these issues, but the process brought Isa back full circle to celebrate the grace and light in her parent’s lives while reminding her to walk the line on her own. Losing a beloved is a passage everyone must go through, but is, ultimately, a very solitary experience. She decided to address this pilgrimage through collages and watercolors like “Exile”. 2011.
