everyone is young once, this is easy to forget. and the past can burden us with a blanket so thick it suffocates. this piece is rooted in a defining moment many years ago - during my first session with a psychiatrist, i cried without warning. this moment has stayed with me. the tears flowed involuntarily, and with them came the realisation that the weight i had been carrying was mine alone, and that i could choose to release it. this painting traces the long, uneven journey of relinquishing that burden and reclaiming inner peace.
