The artist about this work

The 12th painting of the "Different Phrases " series. The painting speaks to a moment in life when we want to share ourselves with another. As the woman is holding on to her cloak loosely it shows that she is trying to show herself and be open about things. She hides behind a wooden pole to show that the readiness to be fully exposed might not be there because of fear. Her red necklace with one white bead shows the level of vulnerability she is currently at and with time things change.
