Relationships and Real Connections comes out of a period where I was leaning more deliberately into brushwork as a primary driver of the composition. The painting has an almost underwater sensibility—forms drift, overlap, and weave through each other as if suspended in a shared space rather than fixed to a surface.

Dark, branching lines act like connective tissue, linking together clusters of activity across the canvas. Around and within those structures, softer passages of color—cool greens, blues, and pale yellows—create a sense of depth and atmosphere. The circular forms feel like buoyant elements, rising or hovering, while the repeated red marks introduce a kind of rhythmic pulse that moves across the painting.

There’s a tension here between structure and flow that I keep coming back to. Some elements feel anchored and deliberate, while others seem to move more freely, almost drifting in and out of coherence. The title points toward that dynamic—how connection isn’t always clean or linear, but something built through layered interactions, interruptions, and moments of alignment. It’s less about defining relationships and more about letting them form and reform within a shared field.
