Wrap Around You

36 x 24 inches | Acrylic, Ribbon, and Plastic Leaves on Canvas | 2024 This painting is about intimacy the kind that dissolves boundaries and redefines connection. Two textured figures twist into one form, their bodies merging in a quiet surrender. The figure on the left melts into the other’s embrace, held and transformed. At the center, a radiant flower head crafted from ribbon blooms symbolizing that she is a gift, both to herself and to the love they’ve cultivated. The materials themselves carry meaning: the ribbon, soft yet strong, honors the beauty of vulnerability. Plastic leaves, preserved and unchanging, represent the lasting impact of true connection. Dash patterns pulse around them like heartbeats each one a rhythm of boundless energy, love, and becoming.
