Acrylic on canvas, 24x24 inches

This artwork is part of a series titled swimming towards the light. Swimming towards the light is a representation of being too deep underwater. It’s dark, it’s cold, it’s quiet. Your logic brain knows that it is ok, you will swim up and everything is fine. However, your survival brain panics a little about making it to the surface.

Running out of time represents the feeling of anxiety around time. As I move towards the surface of the water, will I have enough time and more broadly, am I using time wisely? Time is only a construct, it moves in or out and sometimes as a loop, and how does that impact where I am and what I am doing?
