I have an interest in creating cryptic narratives through the use of the figure and space. Oranges is reflective of a specific time in my life where I felt very present and happy in my environment. As I painted my close friend in the hallway just outside my dorm, paying careful attention to simple things like the dirty carpet and chipped old chair was my way of writing a love letter to my surroundings.
