Eternal Embrace, from my "Connection" series, explores the concept of a deep love that spans multiple lifetimes. The sculpture depicts a couple whose bond is so profound that it repeats over several incarnations.

The art shows how this couple connects on a fundamental level, suggesting they are two halves of a single whole. Close examination of the smallest puzzle pieces, embedded in the inset figures, reveals that they are a perfect match and will connect when their time arrives.

The use of upcycled computer parts, which permanently hold and transmit information, points to a mechanism for memories and feelings to transcend a single lifetime.  These enduring emotions create a thread of continuity that brings lovers together again and again as the arrow of time journeys forward.
