Suffocated

Digital; I used pastel brushes to create the texture and shading in this piece.

Suffocation is a piece visualizing the feelings that I feel whenever I’m put in a rough position or I lose control. I feel a gaping hole in my body, it feels like there’s something I must get out of myself but I wish not to. I am blinded and stuck, often I feel my arms and legs go numb as I’m forced to take action while I’m down and confused. I don’t know who to blame for causing me to be in such an unfortunate situation, so I end up blaming myself, the hate devouring me as a whole. In some ways this piece is beautiful, I come back to look at this work and I feel a sense of understanding of people who was stuck. This piece was originally aimed to show how birds get stuck in oil waste but shifted to a personal piece after repeated negative experiences.

Creativity is an energy every child is given when they’re born; depending on how it’s fostered, a child’s sense of imagination varies. I believe everyone’s creativity is embodied as a hue that radiates from them. My hue is dull and grotesque yet dreamy in the style of an ink painting.
