OIL PASTEL ON PAPER
This piece highlights a spectrum of the foundation of human connection. It addresses the essence of a thought, a memory, an experience and an emotion. We can all find ourselves intertwined with one another through a number of things whether it be through food, laughter, celebration or misfortune. We’ve all been premeditated to integrate through our own complexities. In this painting I’ve sought to identify the specific emotion that we can recognize and adhere to as a reminder of the constant impermanence of time that we face on a daily basis.
