Equinox is a vibrant depiction of one of my favourite themes: everyday people coming together in a moment of dance. Unlike traditional spiritual practices that seek redemption through prayer or ceremony, the individuals in this painting find their spiritual connection in the rhythms of music and the energy of community. Their dance is not just an expression of joy but a powerful act of unity, a way to connect with something greater than themselves.
In Equinox, the focus is on the pure, unfiltered joy that comes from collective movement. The figures in the painting are not bound by the formalities of ritual; instead, they are guided by the beats that pulse through the air, moving in harmony with one another. This shared experience creates a bond that transcends the need for words, allowing them to find spiritual fulfillment in the simple act of being present with each other.
The painting captures the essence of a community that thrives on connection, where the dance floor becomes a sacred space, and the music serves as a universal language. It celebrates the idea that spirituality can be found in unexpected places, outside of traditional ceremonies and rituals. In Equinox, the everyday act of dancing becomes a powerful metaphor for the search for meaning, belonging, and a deeper connection to the world around us.
Through this artwork, I invite viewers to consider the many ways we can find spiritual fulfillment, whether through traditional practices or in the spontaneous moments of joy that arise when we come together as a community. Equinox is a tribute to the power of dance, music, and human connection, celebrating the spiritual possibilities that exist within the fabric of our everyday lives.
