"TWO"

Theme: 
2/2022...the month and year of the “2.” Do you have a piece of art that has two elements in it? Two items, symbols, figures, natural elements, marks, trees, animals, faces, structures, etc. You get the idea. Also, this would be the perfect show for your diptych! Can’t wait to see what you do with the “2” theme.
