Rebirth - Saranda Kalaveshi

Acrylic on Canvas, 40 x 30 in.
​
This is the second work of the Quarantine Desert Series, wherein I've used myself as the subject. The idea came around in April of last year, when I realized that the quarantine wasn't going to only be for two weeks, and that it would last much longer than that. I felt like I needed to view this time in isolation as a blessing, as a time where I can reflect on who I am, and who I want to become; a unique opportunity to reinvent myself.

I set the scene during sunset, as I find them exceptionally beautiful here in the New Mexican desert.
