"The Myth of Being" is an art piece I started in 2016, based on a photo of myself from 2011. I purposely left it unfinished because I believe, like the painting, I'm still very much a work in progress.

The colors swirl and blend together, just like how our experiences and emotions mix together in real life.

 The spark for this piece was a photograph showing a vine ascending a wall. The more I observed it, the more the vine's leaves transformed into hearts.
