To Break Beautifully

A figurative painting in soft, natural tones depicting a woman dancing in a private moment with herself, while a coarse branch covered in wildflowers divides her body like a broken puzzle. The reason for her dance is not defined for the viewer- yet she continues, immersed in a moment that is slightly fractured, but still whole. The painting reveals something intimate and fragile- something vulnerable within the viewer themselves, in those moments when they allow themselves to open up and dance alone, even as the world leaves them divided and cracked.
