Temple is a painting born from the rituals of a lived-in sacredness. A place where chaos meets devotion, and even the marks that are scratched out mean something.

At the center: a bouquet, blooming and unruly, painted in thick, expressive strokes. Cream, crimson, lilac, and green are surrounded by a storm of scribbled words and half-hidden phrases.

The surface is layered like memory: raw, marked, forgiven. Some of the words fight to be read. Some don’t want to be understood. Together, they create a shrine of desire, grace, destruction, release. All of it held in paint and pencil like a sanctified relic.

Perfect for:

* Intimate spaces, private altars, creative sanctuaries

* Collectors who find beauty in grit, text, and tension

* Anyone who’s ever turned love into liturgy
