The title is a timestamp. The artwork is a love story. 

 

This work is about the story of two souls, whose narrative was disrupted by the state of things. The base image of the diptych is a photograph of the characters, which can be connected on all sides allowing the imaginations and possible action of rearranging of the viewer to be part of the story. The overall tone is subdued, while the bright elements of seemingly moving shapes and patterns represent the interrupted yet present connections. Also visible are a mix of faces, signs, and products of spontaneous freehand painting that appear to inhibit the characters' journey to be visible. These can be people, emotions, distance, or circumstances that make a happy ending difficult to achieve. In the midst of clouding gloom, still apparent is the relentless rhythm in movement, mutation, and transformation that is constant in my body of work. As with past creations, this is but a part of my universe infested by life happening in front of me.
