This Collection of paintings are moments of intimacy, care, and collaboration that centers relationships between figures who are not isolated or individualized, but who exist with one another in shared presence. Beyond romanticized scenes of community and tenderness, the clothing symbolizes freedom and cultural survival. Traditional dress has often been among the first elements stripped from Indigenous communities and people of color; in my work, reclaiming and reimagining it becomes an act of resistance—an armor and a defense of collective identity. Characters are faceless as well, this is to highlight the collective spirit of the work, it’s used to crush individualism and ego from characters.
