We Belong

not by claim
or keeping

but by meeting
in the quiet space
between heartbeats


whole on our own
yet more
when we are
together

Belonging
was never possession.
It was recognition.

This note lives alongside the work,
a quiet echo of form, presence, and return.

Artist Note

We Belong is a meditation on connection without condition.

It speaks to a closeness that asks nothing and offers everything,
not ownership, not demand,
but the simple recognition that occurs
when presence meets presence.

The forms lean gently toward one another,
each complete on its own,
yet expanded in relationship.

Negative space holds the pause between heartbeats,
the moment where breath softens
and safety is felt rather than declared.

This work is an invitation to rest in that space.
To remember that belonging is not something we earn or hold.
It is something that happens
when we are met as we are.
