Love vs Money (Family Matters), 2025

Love vs Money (Family Matters) reflects on what truly anchors a family—not wealth or ambition, but simple gestures of love and presence. The canvas captures this quiet truth with both energy and tenderness. In this large circular canvas, Kaï layers sweeping shapes, paint, and charcoal lines to create a vibrant, rhythmic backdrop. The interlocking forms evoke movement, complexity, and the pressure of competing priorities. At the center, a delicate scene unfolds: a figure offers heart-shaped balloons to a smaller character, a symbol of affection, innocence, and emotional truth. Nearby, ghostlike silhouettes hint at material concerns and the distractions of daily life and through this contrast we see what love really means.
