“Digging Deep” is both literal and symbolic — a portrait of unseen effort beneath the surface. Inspired by time spent shadowing construction crews, this piece isolates a single worker mid-task, framed inside a trench, by safety shorings and shadows that turn the ordinary act of labor into something sacred. The angular composition and vivid orange vest cut through the darkness, echoing the endurance and solitude of blue-collar life. It’s a quiet meditation on persistence — on what it takes to hold a world together while staying invisible to it.
