It is with the heaviest of hearts and tears streaming down our faces that we must share the devastating news: our dear friend and incredibly talented artist, Cecilie, known to many as PUTRID, is no longer with us. She passed away from an accident last Friday. We were told of her passing today, leaving us in profound shock and disbelief. Her sudden departure has left a sharp wound in our hearts that can never be mended. The world feels pointlessly cruel to have taken her away from us at such a young age. Her loss is not just personal, but a tragedy for art itself.
Cecilie was not just an incredible artist but a vibrant soul who brought joy and creativity to everything she touched. Her work was always amazing. Everything she touched she uplifted with beauty and awe. Her passion and dedication for art was evident in her every fingerprint, from her solo project Molady Maker to her recent contributions to Kemonokaki at Oekaki Connect. Her work stands as a pinnacle of artistry and most will find difficult to ever match her breathtaking work. Her enthusiasm and talent were a constant source of inspiration for all of us who had the privilege of working alongside her.
Beyond her professional achievements, Cecilie was a true friend - kind, supportive, and always ready with a word of encouragement. Her optimism was contagious, and her excitement for the future was palpable in every conversation. Just days ago, we were discussing new projects and possibilities, her voice filled with hope and eagerness for what was to come. Her loss is devastating to the world, to light, to beauty.
