30x48”
oil on canvas
Fourth of July captures the complex emotions of independence and belonging through swirling blue depths. Created over eight months of profound change and grief, this heavily layered oil painting's glossy surface creates luminous depth within its dark palette. The spiraling forms evoke the distant sound of fireworks—symbols of celebration that carry undertones of melancholy. The work holds both surrender and hope, reflecting the artist's journey through loss toward a deeper understanding of home and identity.
