Together depicts a group of figures sharing the same space, yet each standing in quiet solitude. Set beneath a vast night sky, the painting holds a sense of stillness — a moment where people are physically near one another, but emotionally self-contained. The distance between the figures is as important as their presence, suggesting that togetherness does not always mean closeness, conversation, or touch.
I use simplified forms and flat, bold colour to strip the scene back to its emotional core. Faces are absent, allowing the figures to become stand-ins for anyone — or everyone. Their individuality comes through in posture and colour rather than detail, reflecting how we remain separate even when we gather, each carrying our own inner world.
The landscape and sky act as a shared backdrop, grounding the figures in the same moment, the same night, the same quiet. There’s a sense of calm here, but also reflection — the kind of togetherness that exists without noise, where connection is implied rather than declared.
Together is about being alongside others without needing resolution. It acknowledges the beauty and complexity of shared space — how we can belong, observe, and coexist, even while standing alone.
