Forest Trees 2019

This painting, Forest Trees + Merlot, symbolizes the deep connection between nature and human emotion, using earthy tones and wine-colored drips to evoke both strength and fragility. It suggests that, like wine, life and our bond with the natural world mature over time, carrying layers of history, memory, and transformation. It also reflects how beauty can emerge from both stillness and flow, as the grounded trees meet the fluidity of dripping color. In this way, the piece becomes a meditation on balance — between endurance and change, permanence and impermanence.
