Take Me to my Kin, 2023

(Created with the Mediterranean in the South of France)

12 x 18 Inches

In this painting, two figures are intertwined with one another in a tender embrace. Their hair transforms into the flowing rivers below them, while a backdrop of swirling and dynamic patterns unfold around them. While loving, their relationship to one another remains unclear. Like many perspectives on love, we unconsciously categorize every relationship. This piece expands love into all crevasse of our lives. It reminds us to feel rather than to analyze. It reminds us to redefine platonic and romantic love. It demands us to embrace all of those around us, without attempting to enforce social rules on the ways we love.
