In My spirit in yours, Valerie Asiimwe Amani demonstrates how we fall into, wrap around, extend from, and rise within each other. Her texturized forms, with soft edges and endless curves, reach toward one another, searching for closeness, care, and connection. This piece speaks to a yearning for comfort—the kind that comes from being bound to someone even when there is space between you. Once spirits intertwine, the nourishment, motivation, and cultivation that bloom are endless.
