Abstract
I personally couldn't explain the reason behind this creation in the process of making it, however while thinking of a title the name Constriction came to mind. Overwhelming pressure and the bound of something so tight. Now when I look at this painting, I see the constriction of myself when I try to take that leap of faith, that leap that will transform me and my future, it's a frightening leap to take. Recently I have decided to take that jump, shaking up my life from the stagnant constraint, cause life can just get too boring and too stuck feeling. Though I feel nervous about the new journey, I've never felt so alive & so passionate. It's a cliche saying but it's never been any more or any less true; life is short so don't constrict yourself to "realistic" values, work hard for the real dreams.
