Comforting Hands

This piece is a self-portrait being gently comforted by three glowing hands. These hands symbolize the safety, strength, and comfort I find in my loved ones. The light cuts through the darkness and bring clarity into my life. I was originally inspired to draw this because of my experience with anxiety and the way my family helped guide me through the worst of it. Through this drawing, I wanted to explore how our loved ones can steady and ground us even when it feels like everything is going wrong and we want to give up. It’s a reminder to myself that I am never truly alone in my struggles and that my family and friends will always be there to bring me out and show me the light. It’s a reassurance to both myself and to others that there are people who support us and our struggles won’t stay forever.

Creativity is whale sharks. It’s the courage in the deep breath I take before drawing something unique and making myself vulnerable. It’s my imagination in seeing the world differently from how I’m told to see it. It’s the dreams I have of cats turning into butterflies and flying whale sharks.
