Isolation.
This was done during the mauritian quarantine. It was already hard to adapt to mauritius but isolating myself was thought to be unbearable but it turned out to be a blessing. It is the first time in my life i am enjoying my own company. I truely befriended myself this year. I started this series of charcoal drawings since june 2020, just instinctively going with whatever i came to see whilst drawing. Creating a concept right now would be a lie, because i,myself cannot explain it. I usually play with angles so people and i can choose to see whatever they and i want to see. It is open for interpretation.
If i had to interprete it myself, i'd say, that it was my persona, Max looking for the fruit of happiness because the anger and guilt i felt towards myself vilified my mind.
but i found the fruit of happiness now. It is my creative expression. The willpower to start and knowing when to stop is key.
