Intertwined Lives

A mosaic cube with double heads on top, “Intertwined Lives” is a four-sided piece with faces on both sides and with smaller heads as hair. It rests on a mosaic base covered with hand-made tiles.



It represents the generations of storytellers in our families and in our communities, who have created a group history. The Thesaurus tells us that the meaning of intimacy is “The condition of being friends: chumminess, closeness, companionship, comradeship, familiarity, fellowship, friendship.”



As Ralph Waldo Emerson, in his book of poems, Daemonic, and Celestial Love, says:



And his wish is intimacy,

A more intimate intimacy,

And a stricter privacy;

The impossible shall yet be done,

And, being two, shall still be one.

As the wave breaks to foam on shelves,

Then runs into a wave again,

So lovers melt their sundered selves,

Yet melted would be twain.
