What Somer Said , Revolutions solo show 2020

Portrait of me and all my monsters by @analogsomer 🖤

⚠️ALIZA AND HER MONSTERS X @revolutionscoffee , hanging until October ⚠️ 
.
Today was a big one. Currently, I’m still struggling to come up with the right words. So, for now, while *IM* speechless, here’s what my twin sister @analogsomer had to say, after earlier whispering to me in hushed tones while curating the entire show “I’m concerned we have too many left facing tigers”😆:
.
“Several months ago, I was in @revolutionscoffee , sipping an americano and checking out the art on the walls. @aliza.and.her.monsters had been regularly churning out large, beautiful paintings at this point. Suddenly, something clicked. What if these paintings I was looking at were… hers? I asked the barista for the appropriate contact info and quietly slipped Aliza the information. A gentle nudge. I saw a wave of apprehension wash over her as her expression dropped, “but who would want to see my work?”
.
My heart sunk down into my stomach. In her response I saw myself, an insecure art student who quit before she even really started just at the idea of not being good enough. I didn’t push back on her question, I just listened and waited. Good things take time.
.
Watching her hang this show today, with each piece inspired by so many hard feelings, brought me right back to that moment of looking at someone who was unsure and filled with doubt. Well, here we are. Aliza turns broken things into very beautiful ones. I hope you can make it to see her (very first) show. I could not be more proud of her.”

.....🙊I’m not crying, YOURE CRYING. More later 🥺
