Here I have created another piece where I find myself in the peaceful setting of my bed yet trapped inside another world of my own creation. These days sleep has become a luxury that seems to be just out of reach for me. Thus, rather than tossing and turning aimlessly in my bed, I take this opportunity to create a space for myself where I can be a conductor in an orchestra of colorful emotions. This specific piece reflects my desperate attempts at holding together any semblance of a normal home life. My life has been marked by what feels like earth shattering events and when everything is said and done, I am usually the one picking up the pieces of what my life used to be. Therefore, my goal with this piece was to show reflect how it feels when someone is left alone to hold together the broken parts of what used to be a happy home. From the collapsing walls to the child hiding in the corner, this piece is a reflection of how I have felt for years.
