About the Artwork
Blades Between Us captures a moment where intimacy and tension exist at the same time. The figures are physically close, yet the energy between them is sharp. The blade becomes a symbol of what is unspoken. It represents words not said, emotions not resolved, and the quiet understanding that connection can carry risk.
The posture and positioning suggest control and awareness. Neither figure is unaware of what exists between them. The closeness is intentional, but it is not without consequence. This creates a layered dynamic where trust and threat occupy the same space.
Within the We Mi Casa Su Casa collection, this piece reflects the complexity of relationships. It shows that being connected does not always mean being safe. There are moments where love, power, and tension intersect, and the line between them becomes difficult to define.
This work invites the viewer to consider what exists in their own relationships. Not just the connection, but what sits beneath it. The things felt but not spoken. The edges that are always there, even in closeness.
