DROWNING
Acrylic on Canvas.
45 x 55 cm
Based on a true story about an angsty teenager.
In 2018, I had a near-death drowning scare and that’s scarred me for so long,
In 2020 when I painted this, I wasn’t drowning but life was draining me. It was scary and it somehow felt easier to drown than be in that place.
Fast forward, I have grown, embraced all there is to embrace and managed the angst that comes with getting into adulthood.
It’s uncomfortable, it’s painful, excruciatingly endearing, hopeful and a mix of so many complex properties.
And so I keep my head above water, every day, longer than the day before.
