“In this piece, the fingerspelling speaks a plea – a command – while the pleasant, bright colors visually engage the viewer. With a patternistic border inspired by the work of Mat Cook for an album by “Glass Animals,” and lyrical reference to “Jello” by the progressive musical group “Brockhampton,” This piece effectively combines the emotional response towards music with the visual aesthetics of art. Silence versus sound is central to the theme of this painting.” Brooke Berlin
