Description
I created this using spray paint, string, a blown-up balloon, acrylic mixed with Floetrol, and silicone.
"My Manic and I" captures a time in my life when everything felt out of control. The painting is full of sharp angles and bold colors, reflecting the chaos of my mind when I was 17 and hadn’t slept in weeks. I remember the feeling of not knowing myself and hearing the words "I think that I'm ill" repeating in my head, over and over. Those weeks were a blur of sleepless nights and hallucinations, like reality was slipping away.
Looking at the painting now, I see hints of hope. There are softer tones mixed in with the chaos, like the beginning of calm after a storm. It shows that even in my darkest moments, there was a part of me that held on, a part that was waiting for things to get better.
Recovery has been a long road, but I'm grateful for it. The painting is a reminder of where I’ve been and how far I’ve come.
I can control me. I do know me well. These are the reasons I think I'm recovering.
