This is a very personal painting and is a self portrait. Life presents many struggles and our response to stress can be the release of tears. I was curious why the release of water from our eyes , being a physical response alleviates our emotional pain.
We have theee types of tears, the ones we cry emotionally are named ‘psychic’ tears and are different to our mechanical tears, including the release of stress hormones.
If collected over a lifetime could we all drown in our own sea of tears..
