About The Artwork:

Introducing "Melting" - a captivating black and white illustration that beautifully combines the intriguing symbolism of telephones and the fiery allure of jalapeños. 

In "Melting," the telephone takes center stage as a symbol of communication, connection, and the interplay between individuals. It represents the lifeline that bridges gaps, transcends distances, and enables us to exchange thoughts, emotions, and experiences. With its classic design, the telephone evokes nostalgia, reminding us of simpler times when conversations were intimate and personal.

But the unexpected cascade of jalapeños pouring out from the telephone introduces a powerful element of surprise and intrigue. These fiery peppers, renowned for their intense heat and spicy flavor, add a layer of symbolic depth to the illustration. Jalapeños represent passion, energy, and the potential for transformation. They ignite our senses and awaken our spirits, metaphorically embodying the fiery exchange of ideas, emotions, and connections that occur through communication.

The dotted lines connecting the jalapeños in "Melting" represent the intricate threads that link us together. They highlight the interconnectedness of our thoughts, words, and interactions, underscoring the profound impact that communication can have on our lives. 

Whether displayed in a gallery, office, or personal space, "Melting" is a conversation starter that sparks curiosity and contemplation.

"As if you were on fire from within.
The moon lives in the lining of your skin."
― Pablo Neruda
