Desire has a way of pulling us forward before we fully understand where we are going.
Lost in Desire explores the space between longing and surrender—the feeling of wanting something so deeply that, for a moment, everything else begins to blur. Desire can be romantic, restless, hopeful, consuming. Sometimes we know exactly what we are reaching for. Other times, we only recognize the ache of wanting more.
Layers of deep wine, berry, blush, and flashes of red move into and over one another, creating a sense of movement that never completely settles. Each mark follows the one before it intuitively, as if being pulled deeper into something without knowing exactly where it will lead.
Maybe being lost isn't always something to fear.
Sometimes desire is simply the part of us that knows there is something more waiting to be felt.
