Art Analysis

A radiant awakening of the soul across the digital divide

Inspired by a photograph by Carlton Ward, Watts uses this portrait to honor a decade-long friendship forged through the digital portal. The work was originally shown in the Hear Me, See Me exhibition in support of mental health awareness, highlighting the subject's resilience and her ability to overcome life’s obstacles. It serves as a tribute to a shared journey of spiritual adventure, acknowledging the vast physical distance between the artist and subject while celebrating their parallel paths through life.

The composition vibrates with a supernatural energy, where the subject is described as being imbued in white and saturated in purple. Watts visualizes an internal state where florets and mandalas occupy the mind, suggesting a pirouette of awakening that transcends the physical body. By blending the earthly blood of human experience with the fluid, magical essence of the soul, the artist presents a vision of a woman unbound, whose presence liquesces into a flood of love.
