Acrylic and textured paste on canvas | 100 × 120 × 3.5cm
Happy is a lighter sister piece designed to sit alongside Healing. As with Healing, I rotated this work 90° each time I returned to it, because happiness arrives from every direction - there is no single right way up. The composition loops, swirls and occasionally runs away with itself, full of movement and light. I began introducing short phrases in different languages on this piece to reflect that, regardless of gender or race, we all experience joy. Happy is meant for everyone; it isn’t a shouty, in‑your‑face statement but a gentle, nurturing presence - like a warm hug for the soul.
Archival varnish has been applied to protect the painted surface and ensure longevity.
