You Burn, We Burn is part of Kent's newest series of drawings, inspired by her anxiety fuelled dreams and nightmares. The artist deep dives into feelings of loss, anxiety, and trauma, which stems from her experiences with CPTSD. The work depicts the silhouetted frame of a window as a raging fire burns outside, alluding to feelings of being trapped both physically and emotionally. In the distance, a night sky with stars twinkles gently. Despite what can sometimes feel like a lonely situation, Kent alludes to the outside world that she perceives filled with hope.
