Building Bridges

"A bridge begins with two separate banks—a distance that seems too vast to easily span. Until someone decides that connection matters more than the divide.

In life, we are constantly building bridges: between ideas, generations, cultures, and people who do not yet know one another; or between places where a (faster) connection creates value. Yet, these bridges require maintenance to preserve that value.

'Building Bridges - 1 (Erasmus)' is the first painting in a new triptych—part of the 'Bokeh' series—that visualizes bridges as a connection of colors, shapes, memories, and stories. It is a visualization of a place you recognize, or a place you long to visit. It also symbolizes movement, growth, and the courage to step into unknown territory and forge connections—something the world could use a little more of."
