Can You Drink My Thoughts?
This Picture was originally painted after just finding a similar photo online, being inspired by the colors and the atmosphere it gives off. After spending a few days painting it, I started to identify myself with the child holding their breath while being fully submerged in water: Sometimes thoughts are too loud, too many, to prominent, and it can feel like you’re drowning in the weight of Fears, Hopes, Overthinking. The title is a word play on the phrase “to spill out ones thoughtsâ€, getting help is important but it can be scary, can they handle the amount of emotions I am about to pile onto them, can they drink all the thoughts I spilled? Or will we both drown in them? How will I ever get out of this?
But then again, it might also just be a picture of a girl underwater.
