years ago the ceiling caved in. The bathroom now has a hole larger than the Wells on central. I could see into the apartment above us, see the young couple crying. Times were rough but even worse with an accident like that. The shower was unusable, and I still had dirt on my feet. It would be fixed in a couple of days, the ceiling at least. When it was ready, it looked like the caving never happened. Off goes my shoes and socks, to tap the water that felt ice cold. I think the accident messed up the water heating system. Nothing left to do but still clean myself off, as shivers run down my spine. I hated it. Days and weeks passed me by as I stepped in to take another cold shower.

not an allegory, just a group of slightly normal people

Lately, I’ve lost a lot of my appetite; everything seems unappetizing. When I try to step back into the kitchen, I’m reminded of the days on the line: flames running amok, oil splatters on the ground, a sea of tickets and the sick feeling deep in my stomach. I become lost in a cloud of smoke and steam. Still, the food was frozen, if there was anything there that you could call food. Nothing could warm it.

In those moments, I long for the taste of simpler times, where flavors were not lost in the chaos. The joy of cooking was nothing more than a distant memory.

summer typically gets scorching where I'm at. the swimming pools are kinda deep for my feet. the chicken gets spicier to match the weather, and somehow the house stays hot even with the A/C blasting. i'm allergic to ice cream, so it can't really ease the discomfort, and I end up sipping on warm water. summer can be dangerous, but i still hold a lot of love to for it.

It’s usually hard for me to fall asleep. I try to picture myself suspended in the air, floating towards nowhere. I have a song that sticks in my head, that quietly hums a fond memory holding a heavy weight.

“sometimes our most deepest conversations are with ourselves.”

*pillow-talk* (2022) is a collection of abstract works that play on the idea of an intimate conversation. With the exception being it is with oneself. The works offer a colorful and messy interpretation of lines pulled from my personal journals, where my most deep conversations start. The journals act as markers in my life as I cope with past traumas, anxiety, waves of depression, the happiest moments, young adulthood to name a few. As a result, the words are littered in subtle imagery that looks at first to be out of place, and out of character. Overall, this collection are my thoughts and feelings fully realized as visual works, inviting the viewer to watch me reflect, accept and move forward with these journals, all before I fall asleep. I hope this shows that I am healing.

*Gone are the days of frantic rushes and overwhelming chaos - 6 pm - I can't help but marvel at the beauty that surrounds me - colours of the night - midnight: a dream of being in a hotel lobby with you where very guest is greeted with a warm smile & I feel a sense of belonging wash over me // Night folds into morning, birds in sky canopy, clouds soaring, became memory, but not one as cherished as the quiet moments I’ve shared exploring 
a meal with you.*

I envision the inner-workings of my body as a jigsaw puzzle, a maze of fragmented pieces. Many that don't fit together, unless positioned in its designated place. I've given pieces away, I've taken some for myself, and had some confiscated from me. All to end up losing this little body of mine. Though to whom do they belong? To the flickering light behind my eyes or to the one who could sign me a check. Amidst the rubble of my fractured identity, I live inside myself, gluing together this jigsaw, despite losing this little body of mine.

A collection of 35 works presented exclusively on SuperRare. All auctions will be open for offers/bids on May 30th at 1 pm EST.

“Maybe I should proactively find ways to use that part of my brain. If it’s not shriveled to the size of a walnut yet. Actually…. the water should fix that part. I feel a little dumb right now with this baritone in my lap. A big backed brass instrument capable of producing the deepest sound I’ve ever heard.”

some outside commentary on the work:
"Not an Allegory: Just a Group of Slightly Normal People" is a beautifully layered work that defies simple categorization. Through its title and character representation, and symbolic elements, the piece invites viewers into a dialogue about identity, value, visibility, and the human condition. 

so the color palette and the texture of the paper? in the center is so splendid! now after reading the title?????? i simply have to say it's PERFECT!

The title and the fact that they're all "missing" something definitely stands out to me. Them huddling together around a fire and over a subtle "superhero" speaks to me in a way idk if you explicitly intended but there's it makes me think of community and shared experiences despite or even through our differences

not an allegory, just a group of slightly regular people

"Home is where the heart is, I guess,” rings quietly through the profound artistic journey of Bhare, whose narrative unfolds through a muted collection of contemplative artworks. Drawn from a childhood marked by the absence of home to the family name, the artist's odyssey weaves through small apartments and townhomes, with each dwelling leaving its indelible mark on the intricate tapestry of their identity. The quest for a space to call their own becomes a poignant refrain, echoing throughout the exhibition.

Against the backdrop of this search for permanence, the artist explores the learned desire to create a home that mirrors personal identity and fosters holistic well-being. "Building a Happier Home" becomes a visual symphony of color and form, each brushstroke carrying the weight of familial expectations and personal aspirations.

In partnership with Nifty Gateway, Bhare brings his theme of "Building a Happier Home" to a conclusion, a series that commenced in October 2023. This marks the third and final installment in the series, and Bhare now extends an invitation to artists to help draw this installment to a close. In a call to action, he encouraged two artists to reinterpret and recreate their own versions of cherished artworks from the series. The upcoming drop will feature four new artworks, each contributing to the collaborative endeavor of reshaping and personalizing this imaginative world.

This collaboration not only signifies the culmination of Bhare's creative narrative but also opens the door for a broader artistic community to leave their unique imprint on the evolving concept of a "Happier Home." As the virtual space becomes a canvas for diverse expressions, the synergy between Bhare's original vision and the creative contributions of fellow artists promises to make this concluding chapter a vibrant celebration of collaborative artistry.

Against the backdrop of this search for permanence, the artist explores the learned desire to create a home that mirrors personal identity and fosters holistic well-being. "Building a Happier Home" becomes a visual symphony of color and form, each brushstroke carrying the weight of familial expectations and personal aspirations. In this exhibition, viewers are invited to traverse the emotional landscape of the artist's personal journals, shaped by the relentless pursuit of a dream that transcends physical canvas. Through this visual narrative, we witness the transformative journey not only of the artist but also engage in a universal exploration of the shared human longing for a space that encapsulates the essence of happiness and fulfillment.
