Ever since I was young, I believed that everyone had their “person.” That person would be someone connected to you by soul, like a twin flame. It doesn’t have to be romantic, but an unconditional love shared between siblings, friends, family, or lovers. The main goal in each others’ lives is to eventually get back together. 

This idea is what I wanted to embody with the visual separation of these two souls. Each soul is a different color to represent the individuality of each soul, but each of the subjects are monochromatic to represent the unity or “oneness” of the relationship. I wanted to emulate a raw, almost desperate feeling of togetherness, shown in the stretch marks of the skin.

You just cannot bear to separate from the person; it almost feels offensive. If and when you do connect, and it feels so undoubtedly natural, you know it’s them. The person who has half of your soul is now back home where they belong.
