Inspired by a French photographer and model duo I met in Orquevaux, France, Breathless is based on a photo of the model floating in the swimming hole on the property. The title nods to the song Breathless by the Caroline Polachek — a song that became my anthem during the residency. Just as she basks in the light and magic of that place, this painting holds the feeling of being fully immersed in a moment of stillness, sun, and surrender.
