Sunday Funday

"The shadows are longer
On a lazy morning.
They watch them dance across the table
They sip coffee and tea
She tries to capture it all
But the light keeps moving
Changing.
Shifting.

Nothing stays the same.

They run out of peanut butter.
They go out for more coffee.
They walk through the park.
He gives her his hoodie.

With every fleeting hour of Sunday,
She watches the light slip away
Until there’s nothing left
But more shadows from the street lamps.

She misses him most on Sundays."

The Capacity collection is an exploration of the unique human ability to simultaneously let go, hold on, release, pivot and surrender all while experiencing both the mundane and important aspects of everyday life.

Capacity reflects on our human tendency to compartmentalize our experiences and emotions to maintain separation between different aspects of our lives with others, despite knowing that in a deeper, cosmic sense, we’re all interconnected—both with each other and with the past and future versions of ourselves.

The artist is fascinated by the stories others have shared about their capacity to endure, to accept, to grieve; to hold space for others and oneself at the same time, all through symbolic visual language that communicates shadow, light, containment, spilling over, autonomy and free will.

"She used to be afraid of the dark until she realized shadows are proof that there’s light."
