“All of the things I wanted to do” (7/2/21)

I painted this shortly after my grandmother died back in ‘21 in an attempt to process my feelings

Love, grief, nostalgia, self loathing, depression, and everything in between. Just a big ol’ complicated mess.
An illuminated figure floating in an empty black space, has emotions in the form of blobs burst and writhe out of their chest with force, but become nothing but specks in the empty white space across from them.
