Aida’s Description: One of the most profound experiences of being human is to be loved. This song is one of my all-time favorite love songs — tender, and timeless. In the top right of the painting, a woman begins to emerge. Behind her stretches a vast landscape drawn from nature — with deep blues symbolizing water and soft greens representing the forest, echoing the song’s imagery. She is surrounded by a copper metallic hue — a color used nowhere else in the painting — to symbolize that there is nothing like her. She is one of a kind. This piece is a reflection of love in its most expansive and awe-inspiring form.
