"Poor Thing" Original Oil Painting On Wood

SOLD at Thinkspace Projects!

"Inspired by the movie Poor Things, this piece explores the fragile experience of needing to reinvent parts of yourself to live a more fulfilled life. Self realization can be the most profound when on the edge of sadness.

It’s about finding hope when everything feels heavy, about allowing yourself to transform, to grow, to begin again.

Like Bella Baxter, your past self doesn’t need to define your future. You can restart and become softer, wiser, and full of life.

On a more personal note, I painted this while reflecting on my own self confidence struggles. I know the feeling of being self critical all too well and I am sure a lot of other people out there can sympathize. I hope this painting is a reminder that it’s okay to ask for help when you identify areas for personal improvement, to believe in your own potential, and embrace change. 🦋💧"
