A Return to an Unfinished Thought... Emergence. Painting

It's about the process of breaking free from the fog we live in—the cloud that shapes or confines us, whether it's societal norms, roles, expectations, or whatever else it might be for each of us. It's also about reaching a point in our lives where we question who we truly are, but have been unable to look inside ourselves because of all the distractions around us. This piece explores working through that fog, facing it head-on, and revisiting old places, ideas, and experiences. It's about rediscovering who we truly were and the qualities we've buried over time. It's about picking up those breadcrumbs from our past and taking ownership, moving away from reliance on external opinions, and realizing our capacity for love and compassion, or whatever else our most inner values might be. Ultimately, it's about rediscovering our old self and blending it with our new, unexpected qualities. These are the qualities we have gained throughout our journey, often hidden in plain sight but unrealized or dormant until we emerged from the fog.
