Hide

"Hide" explores the concept of personal refuge—those comforting spaces, both physical and emotional, where we retreat to find solace. Whether it’s the quiet of the woods, the familiarity of home, or the anonymity of a crowd, these places offer temporary relief from the weight of everyday struggles. The painting delves into the idea that while these sanctuaries can recharge us, they can also become crutches, places where we hide from confronting deeper issues. Like a placebo, they offer short-term comfort, but when that comfort no longer sustains us, it becomes clear that something more is needed to truly heal.
