Visual artist Aileen Lanuza enlivens a garden of connections in The Soul Has Its Reasons. Here, Lanuza plays with both the literal idea of connections through a series of triptychs, quadriptychs, and polyptychs in an attempt to convey a continuous narrative of one entity to another.
These mix of alluring feminine figures enshrouded in flowers and of solitary floral arrangements come as interwoven elements of human nature. Lanuza paints souls as floral beings, eclipsing throughout histories and ever-changing societies. The Soul Has Its Reasons is her way of manifesting that connections are very much alive and thriving, that part of our individuality is still, in every way, rooted in other people’s just as much as theirs is rooted in ours.
