Acrylic on Unstretched Canvas
36.12 x 34.25 in (91.7 x 86.3 cm)
In We’re Not Really Strangers, one of the doodles sits beside the figure on a bed, holding an orange tulip. The doodle tells the figure, “we’re not really strangers.” In this work, I take on the role of the doodle after meeting a man through a dating app. The date goes so well that it feels as though we have known each other for years, even though we are technically strangers. The piece explores those rare moments when you meet someone for the first time yet feel an immediate familiarity, as if you have encountered them before, perhaps even in another life. The doodle’s statement becomes a reassurance that the two already know and understand each other on a deeper level. In return, the figure offers the doodle a tulip, a symbol of love and hope, affirming the sentiment: “yes, we aren’t really strangers.”
