The arch (il portico) in my hometown Modena, Italy, represents the welcome, being together, walking side by side under any weather. It’s the extension of a private home on the public road, a communal space where one feels protected, yet exposed to the unknown. The arch I depicted on this waxed canvas is my interpretation of a spiritual portal, an inner bridge where interconnectedness can thrive through tolerance for all the colors of the spectrum, a safe space where different faiths and atheism, ancient cultures, and conflictual histories can elevate one another to a higher consciousness, rather than be perceived as threats to our core identities. I painted this arch in various layers and mixed media while envisioning the endless challenges, dichotomies, and soul-deepening experiences of my 17 years of interfaith-multicultural marriage. The arch is an emotional lyrical landscape where inner and external walls can disappear, letting our complex individualities mix in a mosaic of endless possibilities.
