Always Together
Referencing Vashti Persad's untitled journal entry in Makeda Silvera's "Piece of my Heart: A Lesbian of Colour Anthology”
"I stare out the back window of her house, mesmerized by the countless stars in the black sky and comforted by the watrees and the smell of curry and rain. I breathe in deeply to capture that energy within myself but realize that it is already inside of me."
A visual interpretation and resonance with Persad’s words. A pair of hands, nesting in palm leaves, delicately hold a pair of conjoined hearts; each struck through with a single arrow. Above the hearts, within the hands, is a spark and below are drops of tears which flow back into the landscape. In the bottom left corner there is a house surrounded by palm trees. In the bottom right floats two abstract life forms, presumably human, holding hands. Above the hands sits a sun rise surrounded by sparks and stars between the written words “always” and “together”. The imagery appears on top of a gradient background of a vivid red-orange, warm yellow, and dark lime green; each developed through custom mixed inks.

Forever Bound
“Forever Bound” explores the intrinsic interconnectedness of living beings through both intimate emotional ties and instinctual symbiotic functions within habitat.
A mirrored duo of bats and swans on top of a gradient background of a pale orange, olive to forest greens, and cool, light indigo; each developed through custom mixed inks. The swans face one another in adoration; surrounded by sparks and stars. To their upper right “forever” is written. The bats are conjoined, sharing a large set of wings but separate brains and hearts. To their upper right “bound” is written. In opposing corners are a beetle with fruit and a clam shell with four pearls.
