Grounded in Play & Won't Let Go
A painting depicting the reluctance some experience when entering the adult world and the social pressure that complicates and intensifies this struggle. The "double self-representation" apparent in the painting represents the internal conflict of wanting to remain young, carefree, and playful, though also feeling the instinctive and social pressure to learn, grow, and improve.
