Piece description from the artist
I painted this during a difficult period in my life when I was finally giving myself enough rest to process and research philosophical and emotional questions that arose after my medical scares a couple of years ago. I’d been avoiding dealing with intrinsic feelings that suddenly existed in me after surviving it that conflicted with my previous worldview. I came out after facing it better than I’d been before, but I painted this while going through it, and I didn’t know that it would end up that way at the time. Still, I felt hope that I was on the right path. The robins’ eggs and closed morning glories represent hope. They are potential energy hanging tight during a period of pause.
