Originally exhibited at Joshua Liner Gallery as part of the Synchronicity series, this painting depicts the intimate ritual of amplexus—a common mating behavior among amphibians. Here, male salamanders grasp their partners in a tightly held embrace, a moment of instinct, tension, and fragile continuity. Set against the undulating grain of the maple wood, the scene evokes both tenderness and urgency, reflecting the quiet persistence of life within even the most ephemeral ecosystems.
