Description: Emotions poured into this piece, raw and unrelenting. I had layered the background with intention, only to unearth a deep-seated fear—of everything in life going too well, too smoothly. For weeks, I stared at it, searching to understand what it yearned to become. Then, at last, I unblocked the human within me—the fragile part that had been obstructing something so pure—and this exploded forth in a torrent. Sadness fills my eyes, and this work stands as a window to a soul that finds the world a heavy, hard-to-bear place.
