Artist statement:

When making this painting I was thinking about a time late one night. I was standing on an inner-city street, across from me stood two brothers under the soft glow of a fluorescent light. I was drawn to the way their bodies touched, how they huddled together. In that silent exchange their bodies communicated a sense of connection, closeness, and mutual understanding. I find beauty in capturing these often-overlooked moments from everyday life. This painting seeks to convey the weight and importance inherent in such fleeting yet meaningful encounters.
