The title for this painting is the Portuguese sentiment that refers to a "deep emotional state of nostalgic or profound melancholic longing for an absent something or someone that one loves. It is an emotional state that can evoke happiness, excitement, and pleasure for something that has happened while simultaneously cause sadness and suffering knowing it will never happen again." I am attracted to this paradoxical idea of experiencing happiness and sadness at the same time.
