The sense of belonging then becomes more bonded and ultimately stronger. The series integrates hints of organic shapes such as leaves, petals and botanics with abstracted everyday objects. Each layer of feathery, calligraphy-inspired brushwork alternates with thick professional grade white paint represents a visual metaphor of connectivity and bonds that stretch but do not break.

The tone, abstraction, layers and textural aspects of Belonging No.23 represents when relationships alter needing to be reshaped and redefined. It's not necessarily about deconstruction or rebuilding, but more about the tiny sparks of energy that create the actions needed to move forward to connect again in a different and stronger way.

In person, Belonging No.23 is richly textured, with alternating dense layers of paint with light brushwork and glazing. The paint mixtures are custom created to reduce the overall glossiness in the painting and push up opacity to achieve a higher black and white contrast.
