She said:

About the piece :
The global pandemic has deeply affected the collective consciousness of society. The emotions felt at these major changes to society have left their marks on us, but there is a profound beauty in the tenacity of the human mind's willingness to persevere in the face of hardship.
The hand painted textures in this piece are originally inspired from an artwork titled ‘Spiraling’ which was created in early March of 2020.
This was my gestural exploration of the tactile sense’s response to the emotion felt before the looming global pandemic. It was a foreboding feeling of chaos and the loss of control.
I wanted to use this as a starting point and contrast it with bright bold and vivid colours and forms, creating structures and patterns ultimately balancing the textures to give a sense of harmony.
‘Tenacity’ celebrates the human mind's strength to adapt and flourish adversity, choosing new pathways and connections towards thriving once again.
