Dani Maya / When Two Things Touch

As a Colombian immigrant artist, Dani Maya’s work draws inspiration from the complexities of cultural fusion and the profound significance of connection. Through the abstract representation of the monstera leaf and its interplay with other elements, they explore the transformative power of when two things touch. The monstera leaf, with its distinctive silhouette and lush greenery, serves as a visual metaphor for the diverse threads of their identity. It represents their Colombian heritage, while also embodying the resilience and adaptability required when two cultures merge. In their art, the artist seeks to capture the moment when two entities come together. Whether it's the collision of cultures, ideas, or emotions, this intersection becomes a catalyst for growth and transformation. The monstera leaf serves as a bridge, symbolizing the meeting point where different aspects find harmony and create something entirely new.
