Here is a bit of a special project for me. Earlier this year, I was lucky enough to receive this model thanks to Jakob and sculpted by my friend Leila .

I loved this piece and thought quite early on that this beautiful cocoon would craft a story of love in its purest form.
A few month later, I got confronted by a death in my family. It made me think once more of what death represents. Death in itself, isn't sad, it is a natural process, what is sad, or who are sad, are the people left behind.

Those thoughts and the model accompanied me when a week after that incident when I went to France for an intensive week of painting with Banshee. This week helped me define a bit more my approach to this piece and get extensive feedbacks from all the participants on this.
A couple of month of work later, the project has morphed since it's inception and here we go. I think I detailed enough of the backstory of the project without having to point to a specific interpretation. But it isn't only a story of love in its purest form anymore...
