We Were Always In All Ways unfolds in muted coral, sage, and softened blue, a composition that feels assembled through proximity rather than force. Forms overlap, echo, and interrupt one another, creating a sense of quiet dialogue across the surface. There’s a looseness here as each shape arrives in response to the last, allowing tension and harmony to coexist without resolution.
This work leans into connection, how color and form can relate without merging. It holds movement, but gently. At 24 by 36 inches, it carries enough scale to anchor a room while maintaining a softness that makes it particularly compelling in layered, light-filled interiors.
