The Art

The Meaning

I made this piece during a period in time where a relationship I was involved in started to deteriorate.

The drawing initially started as a circle of blue and pink. Blue for the sky and pink for the clouds. However, as I kept drawing I added more colors that did not seem to fit next to each other. Colors that I wouldn’t call harmonious

I then started scraping away at the art, the colors melting into one another as they all start to fade off the canvas. That was how I came to create this piece.

Looking back, I think I drew this to comfort myself at the state of things then. As if to say: Everything fades away anyways, you’ll be ok cause this is how things have been, are and will always be.

It’s almost like I was bracing myself for the eventual end of that relationship. If I expected it, maybe it’d hurt less. Something of that sort.
