101 - COLUMNS

COLUMNS

During my college days, dating couples often “parked” at the Columns.

I chose to paint these two columns side by side to convey the sense of shared strength in their pairing. Even though each one stands alone, they project an intangible combination: they were designed for one another, paired together for strength. From this perspective, it appears that the level of the columns is uneven. Although the goal is to attain equality in a partnership, the dynamic nature of individual personalities makes achieving an equal balance an ongoing pursuit. To support the weight of challenges presented to them, healthy partners team up to achieve maximum strength.

Partners are often in each other’s lives for multiple reasons. Each can teach, learn, share, support, and grow in diverse ways. Their combined strength comes from lovingly working together. In tandem they repair anything that might weaken the strength of their partnership.

Columns are not designed to go solo.
