Sinking

Acrylic paint on paper  |  30 x 42 cm

(Frame included in price)

Sinking is about the thoughts we carry, both conscious and subconscious. The fish in this painting represent what lies beneath the surface, the subconscious itself. Yet they float above the water: four circling the girl's head, two resting in her hands. Without realizing it, we carry our subconscious thoughts with us in daily life.

The girl stands waist-deep in a small pool. Its walls are patterned like a circus, she is trapped in her own circus of thoughts.
