Painting

“Life is experienced through the inside and outside world, physically and emotionally. By painting on layers of plexiglass, I depict isolation experienced from social anxiety and the pandemic. Through the use of dull and bright colours peaking through the layers, I portray the pain or peace felt with being alone.”
