Imagine letting go completely, feeling those innocent, unencumbered, joyous, and curious emotions that a younger you embodied and expressed effortlessly.

I stepped into that version of myself to make this painting. The graffiti-like combination of airy innocence and a grounded sense of self eludes to a state of seeking and emulating, an eye into the self or the soul.
