Two surreal heads hover together, suspended in vivid color against a darkened, abstracted cityscape. Their closeness suggests connection, yet an invisible boundary remains, holding them apart. Beneath them, a gaping mouth protrudes from the ground, waiting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePainted in bold, saturated hues with expressive brushwork, this work leans into contrast: heat against shadow, closeness against distance, longing against refusal. It reflects the experience of loving something or someone just beyond reach, and the fear of what crossing the threshold would mean.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eSize:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e12 inches wide by 12 inches high, 1.75 inches deep\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eMedium:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eAcrylic on wood panel.\u003cbr\u003eSigned on the back by the artist.
