Many of us in this modern world are searching for love and affection from others, but often overlook the fact that life itself is love. The materialistic surroundings we live in can cause us to lose sight of this truth and neglect to appreciate and embrace each moment of our journey, no matter its smallness. By doing so, we open ourselves up to experiencing love in all its forms, both within ourselves and in our relationships with others. Where is the Love? is a visual representation of the artist’s journey to find love and acceptance in the world. The eyes in the painting represent the search for connection and understanding, while the neon vibrant colors symbolize the joy and passion that can be found in life’s moments. The artist’s life was filled with moments of uncertainty and doubt, but she never lost sight of the belief that love is all around us, waiting to be found in the simplest of things. "Through the creation of this painting, I was able to express my emotions and find comfort in the beauty of everyday moments. It was through this process that I realized that for me, love means doing what brings true happiness and joy. This painting serves as a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always hope and a glimmer of light that guides us towards love, if we open our hearts to it."
