About this Piece
Intersecting Forms #2 was originally conceived of in the midst of Covid 19 home isolation as a way to address the new paradigm and stark realization that to warmly embrace, touch, comfort  family / friends / and loved ones -- was to also risk killing them.

And how in this strange altruistic, yet foreign manner of being -- we all found a way to remain “connected” albeit at a distance like puzzle pieces
attached by a hidden string
even if separated by glass panes. 

​While creating Intersecting Forms #2, the piece began to evolve into a study of our bodies and how the effect of home isolation caused a turning inward. A seeking inside yourself to find peace when days, turned into weeks, turned into months. 

With the minutiae of ordinary life ceased, we all unknowingly joined in vigil. For those lost. For the condolences unrealized. For our way of being … human.
