Acrylic on canvas.36x36"There are blank periods in our lives, i.e. times when we’ve ended a relationship but haven’t found a new one yet; or left a job we dislike without having a new one lined up. We have to go through these in-between phases, and instead of fearing them, we can use them to reflect, focus on ourselves and make improvement. These are the moments when we have nothing to cling to. We might feel unsettling in these periods, however it’s in these periods that we can grow the most. It’s like rock climbing. Sometimes you have to take a leap to reach higher and achieve your goal. In this painting, I depicted a female rock climber, whom I can relate to deeply. She’s climbing alone, symbolizing the times in life when we have to face challenges by ourselves. The surrounding landscape is mesmerizing, representing how life, despite its difficulties, can still be incredibly beautiful. I was trying to express through this piece that no matter what happen to your life, embrace the challenges and hardships, meanwhile don’t forget to appreciate the beauty around us. Show more
