Print of Wasatch

Artwork Inspiration: WasatchWasatch is a bold and introspective exploration of connection, tension, and the power of choice. This piece captures the delicate balance between passion and destruction, control and chaos, stability and volatility—echoing the natural forces that shape both our inner and outer worlds. Inspired by the Wasatch Mountains, a place where movement, solitude, and raw energy coexist, this artwork reflects the human experience of navigating life’s peaks and valleys.

At the core of Wasatch, two interconnected figures merge into a singular face, symbolizing the duality within us—the mind and the heart, the self and the other, the forces that push and pull us in different directions. The mouth, painted in striking red, represents passion in its purest form—words spoken, emotions released, and the intensity of expression. Below, the mountain range grounds the composition, serving as both a foundation and a reminder that balance is key. Tiny skiers dot the slopes, embodying the small yet intentional movements we make as we navigate life’s terrain.

On the edge of the composition, a matchstick stands as a quiet but powerful presence. It is the tipping point, the moment of decision—will it ignite transformation or destruction? Wasatch challenges the viewer to reflect on their own balance, the energy they hold within, and the choices that define their path.

Through this piece, I explore the fragility and power of intentional living. Just as in the mountains, where a single misstep can change everything, in life, the smallest actions can spark profound change. Wasatch is a reminder that the fire within us can either illuminate or consume—and that the difference lies in how we choose to harness it.
