Celestial Bodies (tryptic)
2022
Watercolor, gouache, and metallic ink
Celestial Bodies is a triptych depicting the relationships between a mother and her three daughters. Shared symbolic language, including celestial bodies, snakes, and soul strings, links the three pieces and solidifies the triptych as a singular, cohesive narrative. These pieces work to celebrate the mother and daughters' genuine and unique bonds as well as the authentic selves of each of the individuals. Richly layered with the symbolism of the Feminine Divine as well as of ancestry and unity, these pieces honor not only the individuals and their relationships but also those that came before them.
