In "Let's Go the Long Way Around (No. 1 & 2)," I wanted to capture the feeling of getting lost, not just in a literal sense but in the metaphorical woods of life. The layered lines and vibrant colors—red, yellow, and blue—mirror the winding paths we sometimes find ourselves on, tangled and overlapping, with no clear direction forward.
But this isn’t about fear or frustration. It’s about the joy of surrendering to that disorientation, especially when you’re lost with a friend. There’s a playfulness to the composition, a sense of discovery in the chaos. For me, this piece is a reminder that sometimes, the long way around is the most meaningful route, and the journey itself, when shared, becomes a source of unexpected beauty.
