Have you ever felt the need to separate happy and joyful emotions from sad, scary, angry ones out of fear that the 'bad' would contaminate the 'good'?The instinct to compartmentali ze your emotions is common and rooted in the desire to preserve your joy and protect it from anything that may be a threat. And while this instinct is completely normal and understandable, what actually happens when you try to put your feelings into neat little boxes is that you end up standing in the way of yourself and how you process emotions; stifling your experience of life.'What Lies Beyond' gently invites you to create space for all your feelings – even the scary ones. It challenges the notion that difficult emotions contaminate the joyful ones. Instead it sees them as different parts of our human experience, interwoven and part of a greater whole. By embracing every emotion, you open yourself up to a fuller, more authentic existence. 'What Lies Beyond' encourages you to accept this complexity and is a daily reminder that the more space you allow for every feeling, the more space you also create for support and comfort, leading to a deeper connection to yourself and those around you.An original acrylic painting, 40 x 30 cm.The painting has been built, layer by layer, mark by mark, until a beautifully, balanced work of art emerged – deep and complex.
