RECONNECTING

Reconnecting is an intimate mixed-media reflection on return—return to self, to others, to what was once felt and slowly forgotten. Built through layered textures and interrupted forms, the painting holds traces of separation, silence, and distance, while quietly stitching them back together. Nothing is seamless; the joins are visible, honest, and human.

The work speaks to emotional disconnection in a hyper-connected world, where touch, presence, and listening are often replaced by noise and speed. Fragments suggest moments lost, words unsaid, and bonds stretched thin. Yet within the tension, warmth emerges. Lines begin to meet. Colors soften. The act of reconnection becomes both fragile and powerful.

Reconnecting is not about fixing what was broken, but about acknowledging the break and choosing to reach across it. It reminds us that reconnection is an emotional risk—one that requires vulnerability, patience, and courage. In that risk lies healing. The painting invites viewers to pause, feel, and remember that what we seek outside ourselves often begins with the simple act of reaching back in.
