I felt that I was forced rather than inspired to create this piece. Painting this work acted as a healing mechanism for me after the painful ending of a relationship. The emotions I felt as this work progressed are much the same as what I felt during the evolution of that relationship. This I did on purpose in an attempt to attain the closure I never received. I tried to capture and express how it felt to temporarily exist in the fantasy world of that connection, and how it feels to live without it.
