"Soul Searching" emerged during a time when I felt creatively drained. Finding inspiration for a new piece can be a challenging process, often requiring a deep dive into one's own mind. This painting visually represents the journey to uncover hidden creativity, inspired by the concept of "soul-searching." Like the subconscious and imagination, the scene has a surreal quality, with faces nestled within the moons and an otherworldly color palette. The small figure sailing upstream into the large head symbolizes the artist’s attempt to navigate her own inner world. Moving against the current, she embodies the beauty and difficulty inherent in the creative process—an exploration marked by persistence and discovery.
