Night Sea Journey Painting

'Escape!' is a portrayal of the longing to escape the constrictions of the modern world, or a journey of evading the tolls of modern life. The stick figure is a representation of the human, void of class, gender, and race, to become a symbol of the ‘hero’, running from the confines of the painting. Each piece represents part of the journey, telling a story of the road to independence. The series intends on offering a positive representation on free will and the ability to create one’s own fate. Multiple paintings were necessary in doing justice to this grandiose theme. Typically, the theme of my work is more ambiguous, allowing for a multitude of interpretations. 'Night Sea Journey' uses the journey of Hercules and the image of a camel to represent the many hours of discipline and dedication that goes into the journey. ‘The Night Sea Journey’ is a significant episode in the mythological tale of Hercules. In this part of the story, Hercules embarks on a perilous voyage to retrieve the golden apples of the Hesperides, which are guarded by a dragon. To reach the garden where these apples are located, Hercules must sail across the Oceanus, the world-encircling river that surrounds the Earth. This piece also includes the recurring motif of the rusty pipe, referencing our organismic natures and inevitable destruction.
