Love... You Know Who - SOLD
“Love... You know who” This piece was created to represent the different aspects of contact: physical, written, and lyrical. The first layer of the piece is a combination of love letters, song lyrics, and photographs, put together to capture moments and emotions triggered by human relation. The foreground then captures human touch in a more simplistic way in comparison to the background. The hands were done with washed out acrylic in black and white color scheme to focus on the detail of the piece as a whole. The touch between two hands symbolizes a greeting or farewell, and in context with the piece it is up to the audience to interpret which one works best with the detail they have identified.

Con-tempo
"Con-tempo" This piece represents inner contact as the figure is being liberated from her thoughts and past. The background of the piece is a combination of lyrics in Portuguese, Spanish, and English, in reference to memory, lessons, and inner-conflict. In contrast with more obvious forms of contact, I found it especially important to recognize the importance of contact within -- specifically, depending on oneself instead of basing your emotions on another individual.

Andre
“Andre” February 2017 122cm Height x 62cm Width, Acrylic Through the intensity of the body language and color scheme, I chose this piece to represent contact within. The figure bases his expression in the ideology of the contact hypothesis, by Gordon W. Allport. The contact hypothesis fundamentally is known as one of the best approaches to improve relations between groups experiencing conflict, in this case conflict within himself. The harsh palette knife strokes help the piece convey conflict and resolution.

Control
“Control” This piece was generated to represent vulnerability of a figure in its purest and most exposed form. This contact has its root to conflicting relations, as the main character poses to be released but the hands are an obstacle. This communicates that both physical and emotional contact can be potentially restricting to the growth of the individual. This piece was produced as an alternative perspective to the purity in contact.
