Acrylic on Leather
2024
I call this piece the “Ascension Jacket” because of the kinetic energy it holds upon placing it around your arms. This piece explores the parts of the body that are hidden behind the clothes we wear, and how oftentimes the clothing we wear purposefully covers parts of the body to avoid our insecurities. It is a critique of the vulnerability we give our bodies. The visual elements of the work contain metaphysical potential that ignite the colors and form to create the power of this work.
