250 squares - 9.5"x9.5" acrylic and mixed media on MDF wood board

This is a piece that wrestles to reconcile the whole and the individual. All of these squares together comprise a large breadth of emotions, and yet as you get closer to the piece itself, you realize how different, how distinct each puzzle piece and each emotion really is. I wanted to display this fabric of squares in a way that felt overwhelming, all-encompassing, but not suffocating. A space you could enter into and feel the immensity of blue since that is how emotions can and do typically feel.
