Ties that Bind

Ties That Bind is a visual symphony — a meditation on rhythm, memory, and connection. This body of work explores the unseen threads of love, lineage, and shared experience that weave through generations. Inspired by the enduring sentiment of the hymn “Blest Be the Tie That Binds” and a 1970s photograph of the seven Younger sisters, the collection reimagines the beauty of kinship and feminine strength through the lens of soul, fashion, and form.

Each piece is composed like a song — layers of texture, pattern, and repetition creating a visual rhythm that moves across the canvas. Figures emerge as silhouettes of grace and resilience, their individuality intact yet harmonized by shared presence. Golds shimmer like stage lights, geometric forms pulse like sound waves, and muted blues recall the quiet spaces between notes.

Through this rhythmic layering, Ties That Bind honors the continuity of family, faith, and sisterhood — the emotional and spiritual bonds that endure beyond time and circumstance. It is a celebration of women who stand together in strength and style, connected by stories, by rhythm, and by the unbreakable threads of love that hold us all.
