The Distance Inside Us

Some distances cannot be measured in kilometres. The Distance Inside Us is a series about longing, leaving and waiting — about the space between people and inside one person.

We were still waiting for you is longing mixed with hope. Not all sails lead away... is about the illusion of leaving when you cannot escape yourself, I knew the lake. Not the forest yet. about the courage to step into the unknown, and I love you, Dad! about love that cannot be put into words.

These paintings speak to anyone who misses someone or something. Each one has its own page with the story behind it; some are also available as canvas prints.
