Description
Look closely and you will find it. The word love, written into the surface itself, not placed on top but buried within like the feeling it describes. Dexen builds this piece in layers of warm sand, deep cobalt, and amber, each one carrying its own weight. The blues move the way water moves, or the way longing does in currents, never quite still. The beige holds everything together, calm and grounding, the way a steady love does. The hidden word is the whole point. You have to slow down to find it. And that moment of discovery, that pause, is exactly what Dexen wants you to feel. Part of his Love Series, this work sits with you differently each time you return to it.
