In my recent series of paintings, I delve into the intricate themes of healing, human connectivity, and lineage through abstracted representations of the figure. The forms intertwine in fluid, interlocking compositions where individual bodies dissolve into one another, resisting clear boundaries between one figure and the next. 

The creative process is deeply tactile and sculptural: oil and acrylic seep into the linen canvas, which is then cut, reassembled, and joined through sewing, much like the construction of a quilt or blanket. Outlines are accentuated with embroidered satin stitching, adding dimension and texture that invites viewers to engage with the work as both a visual and tactile experience. This method of piecing and mending underscores notions of repair, growth, and interdependence. 

The palette evokes a sense of grounded, organic unity—earthy tones that feel ancient yet intimate. The forms are simultaneously familiar and unknowable, solid, yet permeable, and solitary, yet endlessly intertwined. Collectively, these pieces reflect on the enduring threads that connect us—across generations, bodies, and experiences—creating a meditative space for contemplating unity within fragmentation.
