Worlds Away From Where They Were Born They Found Home

This is a love story of two immigrants. He was born in Sweden, she was born in Nepal and they met and fell in love here in Denver, Colorado. They share a love of dogs and they are each very connected to their cultures. They support one another completely. These flowers were selected because they are native to their respective countries, and the animals are national symbols.

She said he is always supporting her, lifting her up. Here you see my photo of the hand at the bottom, printed on a thick cotton rag paper. The images of animals and flowers above were found online, digitally manipulated, printed, cut and glued on the surface. The black paints are my way of highlighting elements and showing the motion of energy.
