This piece was a way for me to explore the relationship I have with my own work as an artist, as well as to unpack the feelings of insignificance that I was struggling with, oftentimes feeling as though I was completely alone and lost in the crowd in my day-to-day life. This painting was stippled entirely by hand in acrylic paint, a process that helped keep me grounded as it let me physically connect with myself and my work in a way I would not be able to achieve if I used brushes. I often refer to this piece as an exercise in letting go because that's exactly what it was (and still is) to me. This artwork gave me the opportunity to acknowledge, process and release heavy emotions while producing a physical manifestation of my journey towards redefining what my art means to me and finding myself again in the process.Artwork Details
