Synchronicity
(2023)

The name of my piece is "Synchronicity." It was created this year in April. Synchronicity was painted with Acrylic paint on a round piece of wood. I also used flat-back gems on the piece. When I first thought of this piece, it was last year, 2022. This is a similar version of my other work named "The Reunion."... I gave this piece its own name because it is still a unique piece. My art greatly reflects what I go through in my life. This piece, along with my other piece, "The Reunion," reflects my journey in finding and healing my inner child. This piece speaks explicitly about the meeting between the older and younger versions of oneself.

The setting in this painting is a magical land, one that is hard to access. At the bottom, there is a pond. In this pond, there are two figures. Each of the figures has strings; each of the strings is either painted or made with gems. The small figure on the left is a child, the younger and hurt version on the right. The figure on the right, a much older version, knows who and what that younger version has gone through, so it places its hand upon the head of the kneeling child. Upon this, the strings appear. They reflect the divine timing and the healing process of both figures.

"Synchronicity" is the moment before my next piece, "The Reunion." What I want my audience to understand is as we grow older, we often forget we were once children with hopes and dreams. Although those dreams and hopes have changed, they will always be a smaller, younger version of us to thank. One that keeps us going. The younger version of ourselves might be hurt, but without them, we wouldn't be where we are today.
