Limerance

The second piece in a three part mini series titled “To Be With You Is To Be With God” , created to document my feelings for a lover I no longer call my own. 
This piece features a portrait of a man in contemplation on a park bench, while a secret admirer offers a tulip behind an oak tree. It is surrounded in a collage of various flowers all offerings to the man. The boy behind the tree sees the God in the man. He is as super natural as the robin, the insect, the violet at his feet. The secret admirer is so enamored and overwhelmed by his desires, he can only fawn behind the old oak. Too afraid to be seen by what he feels is such a mighty thing.  Limerence. 
The portrait was done May 2022 after he experienced a trauma on the way to my house, he left shaken up and we didn’t see each other for a while. I never got to give it to him.
