Message from the artist:
"For Them, For Us, For Now" is an ode to those I love, a tribute honoring their presence in my life. My aim is to encapsulate these ideas cohesively, celebrating and honoring those dear to me—both the living and those who have passed—through a visual landscape of spirit depictions in paintings and photographs. I see life and death as two old friends engaged in a constant game of hide-and-seek. [...] Ultimately, this show is a celebration—a potluck of shared experiences, a coming home to those I love, and a toast to the unknown. Through my paintings and photographs, I aim to immortalize these personal journeys and relationships, inviting viewers to reflect on their own stories and connections to themselves and each other. For them, for us, for now."
