This piece explores the worth of my art. Am I wasting time doing this? Should I be studying instead? The mirror image is a visual metaphor for reflecting on my decisions and past experiences, leading to a restored passion for art. This work is about patience and my personal journey, periodically losing my passion for drawing. It’s a way of reminding myself that I do enjoy artistic endeavours, that it does have value, that I am capable of creating art that brings a sense of fulfilment.
