Yours truly,

Born out of the necessity to mitigate peak anxiety and depression during a cold, winter Melbourne lockdown in 2020.

Months and months passed with each attempt to complete this piece. Fear of failure halted progress, and I couldn't get it right.

Nearly a year later in 2021, in an almost identical winter lockdown, when I needed the safety of painting to block out the noise and calm the mind, it has finally been completed.

Stare long enough and you might find yourself.

Yours truly,
