Body's in Prayer: "The Language Between"
"The Language Between"
Acrylic and mixed media on canvas
10"x14"
My series “Bodies in Prayer” is from countless sketches of bodies in motion. These paintings emerged from a deep immersion in my dance community where connection flows like water between souls. These are not portraits but captured gestures—the fleeting moments when individual dancers dissolve into something collective and sacred.
In the sacred space where bodies become instruments of understanding, where a profound language exists beyond words. The bodies move like colors bleeding into one another on wet canvas—boundaries soft, identities fluid, yet each essence distinct and honored.
Arms curve around shoulders, backs arch in trust, hands find their way to hearts. This is the dance of deep intimacy, where vulnerability becomes strength and connection transcends the need for explanation. In this tender huddle, they communicate what language cannot hold—the longing for belonging, the joy of being truly seen and accepted anyway.
They are creating something together that none could achieve alone: a living mandala of human intimacy.
This is where the dance becomes most profound—not in grand gestures, but in these quiet moments of complete presence, where beings allow themselves to be known and to know others at the deepest level.
