The Grief Project

Loss has been deeply present within my life lately and as I grow and evolve I have learned that there is much more to the journey of grief than what we were once taught.

This project is a way to bring light to our losses, to plant beautiful seeds, to find community and solace and ultimately, to see the beauty and gratitude within this universal but painful experience that is incredibly unique to each individual.

Grief can come from many different places and felt experiences within our lives. Your grief does not necessarily have to be defined by a death to participate in this project.

We all have a story of loss intertwined with beauty, pain and growth - a story of grief. And I would be honoured to hear yours <3

We love you.

What called you to participate in this project?

If you could share in ONE word -- what does this process and/or artwork mean to you?

Because Chanelle draws directly from photographs, please be specific as possible when answering the following questions:

Which parts of nature connect you back to this soul? Perhaps there was a raspberry bush that you picked from together as a child, maybe they greet you now as a butterfly, a tree from your childhood, etc. Please share multiple.

If you shared a location such as the beach, the ocean, the field... above, please note the SPECIFIC species of plants, birds or insects that speak to you from that location (Example: beach peas from the beach)
