BREATHING UNDER WATER

Breathing Under Water is a series of eleven mixed media paintings on paper. This series served as a therapeutic diary of sorts for myself. I was at a point in my life where the worst had happened, I was over that. That was me putting the bricks back together and really starting to find my stride in life.  The things I thought were impossible like being alone, being independent, knowing myself, all of theses things. Suddenly I was facing places that I never thought I could for me. I survived the one thing I feared the most and I really faced myself. It was the first time I had ever been alone, really. I felt free. I could do anything I want. I put myself in my own box and then I suddenly broke free.
