BRAZIL

Once the girl is ready to be a woman, she wears this ceremonial attire and feeds her community.

SUBCONSCIOUS
This work is about Sol, a young dreamer on the path to self-discovery. The process of creating this work involved music - specifically the song "Porcelain" by Moby. The painting involved little thought and flowed from what the music inspired via a wide array of materials and colors. The result is the chaotic dream world of an enchanted young boy.

MIRROR
This is a different angle of Sol, the young boy who shows up in Tessa's dreams. Sol unveils his golden eyes for the first time. Tessa draws on the powerful and complex emotions she felt upon seeing his eyes to create this image. It is up to the viewer to interpret Sol's inner state. Tessa fortuitously came across three four-leaf clovers while creating this painting, which she took as signs of luck and included in the work.

THE NOMAD
The Nomad draws inspiration from the Tuareg nomads, a group known for their resilience and brave spirit as they traverse the vast Sahara. These nomads symbolize wandering and embody the spirit of resilience in the face of adversity. The nomad's face and eyes embody a plethora of experiences. This is also a metaphor for the diverse stories that weave through our individual life paths.
