AMOUR

“my love” in French

Amour I - IV is part of “The Space within” series completed in 2021. ‘Amour II’ was the first piece planned but put aside after the conceptual drawings were done while I completed the smaller and experimental “Amour I”. In October 2021 “Amour III was added and November 2021 ‘Amour IV’ completed the series.

The series is a reflection on our need for connection in the socially distant times of 2021. The figures are under water and represent both physical as well as emotional closeness while surrounded with an unknown abyss of space.



‘The space within’ reflects on the space within our minds and thoughts. The space within our relationships. Spaces within our homes and work that changed over the last two years. On various levels our lives changed as we faced geographical changes, isolation and absence of connection.

Through this series the color palette remained mostly monochromatic with an emphasis on grays and blacks being in juxtaposition to the emotional content. However, I do view neutral tones as symbolizing power as I view vulnerability not as weakness but as strength.
