“April 2004”  synesthesia painting inspired by independent artist Isabel Rafeedie
 
This piece holds a very special place in my heart. When my sister-in-law, Isabel, asked me to translate her song connected to the loss of her father, I felt deeply honored. The music was a solo vocal piano piece, tender & spacious, and as I listened, I saw soft pastel colors unfolding into gentle, wavy lines. It felt quiet, emotional, & full of presence.

At the beginning of the song, I experienced her father’s voice saying Hallelujah, which led me to create a section I call line to Heaven where I incorporated his words as tribute. The music’s resonance felt like a presence just beyond reach and I captured it through subtle layers of light, movement, & color. The work became a space for memory, love, and grief to exist together.
