This recurring theme in my art explores the profound hunger for physical connection. It's funny, really, how often that yearning gets mistaken for mere lust. Of course, it's not always so simple. Sometimes, it's about the quiet comfort of having someone near, a warm presence in the shadows. Or just the comforting echo of their existence, even when they're not there. This piece embodies that sentiment. It's not about the fleeting passion of sex, but the deep need for touch and companionship. t’s about the solace found in shared space, knowing a hand rests somewhere near.
