Figurative painting; Women are
cyclical beings. Viewing the rela-
tionship between life and death
as circular as opposed to linear.
The space of duality that is con-
tinually traversed through the
life-death- life cycles of a woman.
References to the animated qual-
ities within us that give way to
our inner navigation and in which
aid and catalyze our ability to
shapeshift from girlhood to wom-
anhood. The liminal space within
a transition; saying goodbye to
something while saying hello to
something else. How a tree’s fruit
arrives in the wake of the death of
its flowers; the seeds for the next
generation are hidden in the belly
of the fruit.
