Acrylic and Oil Pastel on Canvas
Delving into the complexities of human connection and the role of support systems during times of uncertainty. The fragmented body represents the ways individuals can feel scattered by doubt, past struggles, and personal obstacles. The hands reaching out symbolize the diverse sources of support—whether from loved ones, communities, or moments of unexpected inspiration—that help hold people together. The dark voids cutting through the figure highlight the setbacks, losses, and vulnerabilities that shape human experience, underscoring a shared sense of incompleteness. Abstract expressive marks capture the tension between being lifted up and held back, reflecting the universal journey of self-discovery and growth.​​​​​​​
