Yearning for Wholeness

This is an ongoing project, I have at least one more to complete.

My original piece to this series is called "Family," and is three faces connected into a heart shape, a mother, father, and child, was created in 2013. Ten years later, I revisited this piece to continue processing the loss of my mother in January 2020 (not Covid related) and almost losing my father in January 2021.

 

 I have recreated the "Family" piece in a series called Yearning for Wholeness, still in a heart shape but now there are empty spaces, halos of those we have lost. One is called "Padre" (father), and the second is "Madre" (mother) which I completed in October 2023. I cried when I finished "Madre" because it is for my mom, a beautiful person and made in red, she looked so wonderful in red. I finally finished "Hijo" in October 2024 to add to this collection.  Color and texture are very important in my work, so I take my time, it has to be right.
