Echotherea intimata

“Echotherea Intimata,” displayed at Twisted Windows during the Folsom Street Fair in San Francisco, originated from a concept provided by gallerist Conor Flick: “Ethereal Erotica.” After knowing Conor for three years, the idea of blending the ethereal and the erotic piqued my interest this year, leading to the creation of this series. It felt like a merging of the otherworldly with the deeply human. The title, “Echotherea Intimata,” is a portmanteau that encapsulates this journey. “Echo” signifies energy, sounds, rhythm, and music—unseen forces rippling through each piece. “-therea” comes from Conor’s idea of “ethereal erotica,” blending the ghostly with the sensual. “Intimata” conveys the intimate nature of this exploration. The whimsical and experimental nature of the name suggests a world where the narrator belongs to a unique genus and species, E. intimata, drawing from the Latin naming convention of the natural world.
