The last traces of rain trickle down the gutter’s broken edge
None would it matter, who could hear it anyways?
Especially when I’m inside, down below
Down three flights of stairs
Flies lay still in the circular lighting
Fuzzy.
Vibrating.
Who could see?
Surely not me
Darker than vantablack down here
Frost bites at my skin, sticking to the concrete floor
Lips sealed shut
My mind screams help
My body screams death
Drop

Monserratt Sandoval
My name is Monserratt Sandoval, I am a Mexican-American and am currently 18 years of age. I’ve always appreciated art from a young age, and couldn’t wait to start creating my own artwork. Other than one class in senior year high school, this is my first art class in PCC. Here is where I first really used charcoal in my artwork, which I quickly fell in love with, as it can be found in a lot of my pieces. I enjoy creating observational pieces, like See Through and Self Portrait, which showcases my dining table and backyard door, and myself. I also wanted to shine a light on new perspectives in my work on different lives, which is how the inspiration of Our Life came to be. This piece is one that I hold close to my heart. I also enjoy writing, taking great inspiration from my own life experiences.
