Celebrating Independence Day
Dancing in Freedom
34cm W x 46cm H | Acrylic on canvas | 2024
Gazing at the expansive blue sky through the fluttering wings of birds, we are reminded of the freedom we often long for amidst the constraints of our lives. Inspired by the birds' ascent, two young lovers emulate this liberty, their dance a reflection of the joy and boundless freedom they witness above. It is in these moments of shared bliss and unchained spirits that they spread their arms wide, embracing the promise of a hopeful and vibrant tomorrow.
Soaring with Vigor toward the Sky
50cm W x 65cm H | Acrylic on canvas | 2024
The woman finds herself in an uplifting dance among pigeons in flight. Just as the earth-bound pigeons yearn to soar high, she is inspired by their ambition. Her jubilant smile gives courage, as if to say one must take the leap and spread their wings. "Fly," she encourages, "to see the vastness of the sky, to embrace the expansiveness that mirrors our spirits." This artwork is a metaphor for our own aspirations, a canvas where dreams take flight on the wings of determination and joy.
