This painting represents the anxiety that people feel when they are not true to themselves. It contains images representing the true inner self, social pressures that often keep people from following their innate wisdom, and the poison of other people's expectations. My experience of emotions, travel, pop culture and communication inspire my artwork. These experiences combine with my efforts at exploring individual identity and understanding personal relationships.
