“Endure and Survive”

“Endure and Survive” is not just a tribute to The Last of Us, it’s a portrait of grief, memory, and the weight of survival.

In this piece, Ellie stands at the crossroads of who she was and who she’s become. Around her, the fading echoes of Joel flicker through fractured glass, moments of warmth, rage, laughter, and loss, all collapsing into each other like shards of a broken past. Each reflection tells a story of a bond forged in blood and silence, of a love too complicated to name, and of the ghosts we carry whether we want to or not.

This artwork captures the essence of Ellie’s struggle, not just to survive in a broken world, but to survive herself. Her mind, like the world around her, is cracked and scarred, but it still holds fragments of beauty. Of love. Of humanity.

For those who understand what it means to lose everything and still keep going, this piece is yours.

A reminder that even when the world falls apart… we endure. We survive.
