For this project I needed to use the strategies and painting style that Van Gogh painted for his skeleton. After a while, I started to get into a rhythm and began to see the painting as Van Gogh did.

A blurry image of a neon pink flower as it hangs almost in the center of the frame, surrounded by leaves. The text in the middle of the screen reads: “and we found each other again / reunited, in this corporeal form.” The timestamp on the video says that it was taken March 05th, 2021 at 9:51am.
