THE TENDER COLLECTION

STATEMENT:

‘Tender’ is a collection of figurative watercolors inspired by the concept of ‘spring fever’ during quarantine. Spring fever invokes a sense of restless desire for romance and social connection. While stuck in quarantine, I’ve turned to memories, photographs, and films in search of an anecdote to my restlessness. Painted on hot & cold pressed watercolor paper with floral and earth tones, the paintings represent a tender reflection on love.
