Re-creation in symbolism of internal processing.
I've been reprocessing this canvas for 9 months.
Initially it was an artwork that I made six years ago.
By finding myself in an inner reconstrucction phase after my mother transitioning, autumn 2023, I chose this canvas to be an outer symbolism of my own process.
It now reflects onto me the delicate and raw seasons of life, of adjustments, of trails and errors, and to be allowed to start over, as many times that I’d like.
What I’ve been observing on this canvas hasn’t been the finish lines, more so, what I’ve perceived opened up for new beginnings.
It’s been a space where I could learn what I like and don’t like, what I can and what I can learn to do differently or to not do at all.
The more time that I hold space for this process, the more I like the texture that is becoming.
How do you support yourself when you’re moving through deep feelings, and unfamiliar changes within and around yourself?
