My ladies represent an extension of me that I created during the pandemic, through all the trying times. A reflection of the numerous inner conversations and mixed emotions that I had through the couple of years: confusion, sadness, frustration, joy and hopefulness. Like many people, I had a lot more time to myself at home and in my studio, which means I spent a lot of time examining and dissecting the different aspects of my life, my family … and putting myself in the microscope. The uncertainty of the situation forced me to face my fears and insecurities.
