Solo Exhibition with Artnet.
This show explores the full spectrum of love. The anxiety and excitement of a first date, the slow deterioration of a relationship, the arrival and departure of life in this world; love can mean so many different things depending on the time we experience it in our lives. One is not able to completely appreciate the highest love without acknowledging the lowest moments of pain.
