VANQUISHED

Soft pastels, colour pencil, ink and graphite on art paper - 17cm x 17cm

This piece is reflective of struggles and challenges I’ve overcome. It is not easy to talk about but suffering from anxiety has always disabled my ability to move forward, even when I had to against my will. I overcame my anxiety in different ways, being creative is my most powerful outlet. The red is about stopping but also passion not to stop. I do internalise a lot of thoughts but I am breaking free of internalising and it had brought my excessive peace.
