What does it mean to live your truth?
We've all heard the term "Face Your Fears," but what does that really mean?
"ERASURE" is a body of work created by the supernatural artist,SAYAZAKE. The pieces below utilize various mediums with a focus on the aspects of one's self. "ERASURE" examines emotions such as fear, doubt, anger, ambivalence, apathy and more, while presenting it with a supernatural lens. SAYAZAKE, a lover of the Occult and seeker of his ultimate truth, leans on characters frequently presented in his other works and introduces new ones. Characters such as his trusty white spirit and Mifune, the Wandering Shinigami (Death God) have returned to lend a hand in this tale of Death and transformation.
The beginning of it all. Facing your shadow.

How many times have you put on a front like you were okay when you were really running from yourself?
Integration looks a lot of different ways.
You're not alone when pain occurs.
Where are you?
We both want the same thing.
"I've learned that when your shadow reveals itself, it's trying to tell you valuable information. It's trying to express itself by any means necessary. 9/10, you and your shadow both want the same thing."
"The Amalgamation Diaries" Excerpt
This piece was written around the time of my early twenties. I've always felt a great sense of dread and weight when it came to existing. A lot of things never made sense to me. I learned a bunch of typical societal ideologies from my parents and it just never felt right to me. I spent a lot of time feeling angry and contemplative because I always had a voice in my head challenging the status quo but I never knew what to actually do with it. How would I even go about communicating with that voice without seeming crazy? Who would listen?
