I have the incredible privilege of being a mother of twins. Every day, I witness the interactions of two little people who came into the world together. I am constantly left in awe of the unwavering companionship and solace they share. I set on a journey to explore the universality of their bond. I spent hours scrolling social media to find families from all around the world with similar stories. What I discovered is: despite differing cultures, the impalpable connection between each of these little ones is, in fact, universal. Their smiles radiate a deep affection. Their playfulness illustrates the truest camaraderie. Their company grants strength through hardship. And their closeness gifts each of them a lifelong assurance of belonging. Their bond is sacred and celebrated in my work. This is the fourth painting in my twin collection. Yoyo and Layla are 6-year-old twins from China. This painting illustrates the unspoken security they share when together in times of uncertainty.
