This painting explores a core theme in my artwork: being yourself. Often times I find myself questioning why I do the things I love. Why would I spend time on something that gives me delayed gratification when I can scroll through Instagram? A healing process, this painting reminded me to never stop pursuing the things I love, life after all isn’t remembered through mundane memories. Further, by pursuing my passions, I’m continuing to cultivate my joy, and spread love to the people around me.
