Love Bug holds two truths at once. On the surface, the figure is composed. Her expression serene, unreadable, almost guarded. Around her, color detonates: confetti-like bursts rendered in glow-in-the-dark and metallic gold acrylics, a visual register entirely at odds with her calm. That contrast is the painting's real subject: The gap between what we perform outwardly and what's actually happening underneath when affection arrives uninvited.
A small insect rests on her skin, doing more narrative work than its size suggests. It's love as something that lands on you rather than something you choose. Sudden, faintly absurd, impossible to brush off once it's there. The glow-in-the-dark elements mean the painting shifts under different light, echoing how new affection can feel entirely different depending on the hour, the mood, the version of yourself doing the feeling.
The piece sits within a body of work that treats emotional interiority (particularly women's interiority) as something worth rendering with the same visual ambition usually reserved for myth or spectacle.
