A correspondence between two people who never fully disclose themselves to one another. One writes letters; the other responds with paintings. Together they form a pact of attentiveness and responsiveness without disclosure.

The letter writer believes in the perfect question. The letters are composed with precision and patience, each line of the stationery meticulously drawn, as if the act of writing could be reduced to its structure alone.

The painter returns care without explanation.

The paintings consider the anatomy of the eye: capillaries, irises that shift in response to light and environment, and the partial reflections that appear on the eye’s surface. They operate as a laundering of experience—details of the painter’s life and surroundings translated into forms that are infinitely interpretable and therefore safely shared. In this exchange, abstraction becomes a strategy for remaining in touch without incurring the pain of correspondence or the burden of representation, rather, the relationship is sustained by restraint.

What Color Are Your Eyes Today? was exhibited as part of Pillow Talk, a group exhibition at The Soil Factory, alongside work from Hazel Key, Jackie Riccio, Josi Valle Ellis, and Rohini Gupta. The work was on view from December 12th-17th, 2025.
