THIS IS FOR ME

This isn't for you, this is for me.
I think of that final line from the video (watch below) when I find myself feeling too self conscious now.
However in the course of making this piece, it has been tricky to express exactly what I'm getting at. I like to think I'm an eloquent person but ultimately, like good advice, you only truly understand something once you've experienced it for yourself.
I don't know if you wrestle with this problem, if it makes even a fleeting bit of sense to you. It feels like everyone else does a better job of 'being' themselves. Their decisions seem so resolute, so secure. They are very, very good at being they.
If you are that person, well, I wish I had learnt sooner what you have known for longer. But if you've ever felt the weight of other people's expectations and opinions so strongly that you've forgotten your own perspective, I know you'll understand.
And so this painting isn't back to front because, I'm slowly learning, it doesn't matter how things look from the outside.
This is for me.
The video for how this piece came together can be found below.
