"This work is intended to convey relationships in all of their complexities. The unpredictable nature of the fluid mediums suggest that perhaps the female is male, raising questions regarding gender and sexuality. They appear troubled and delicate, yet reluctant to breakaway from their lives together as one. In an effort to push through whatever their relationship is up against, they remain 'Lovers in all Circumstance'."

Samantha Wilson explores contemporary art as a tool to heighten empathy for displaced peoples in Europe

The communication between viewer and artwork, or self and other, are vast in the case of Samantha Wilson’s work. Our attention is immediately caught in the forms that loom over us, engaging presences. Large scale figures and bodily forms rendered in charcoal and ink stare out in uncompromising and stark confrontation. Wilson chooses pastel shades and ominous pinks against the shadowy, smoky contrast of charcoal to draw beautiful yet provocative reflections of individual characters.
The often withdrawn expressions and vacant faces lend a mysterious and somewhat isolated mask to each figure, begging questions of identity and the societal complexity of otherness. Each figure is cloaked in darkened shapes contrasted against softened edges, which lure unsettling feelings. This, in turn, exposes the diverse interpretations and subjectivity obtainable through each piece.
