“𝑀𝒶𝓀𝒾𝓃’ 𝓂𝑒 𝒻𝑒𝑒𝓁 𝒽𝓊𝓂𝒶𝓃-“

Oh boy, another painting of Callum! And a very metaphorical one at that. 🥀

I really wanted to capture some of the feelings woven into my story with this piece. The almost inverted colours represent how one of our main characters feels from the inside. He’s vanishing, but somehow, there’s something strangely beautiful about it.

The red hydrangeas carry their own meaning too. Red can symbolise new birth, passion ignited, something beginning to burn. But it can also feel like a slow death, like an ache smouldering over a low fire.

Maybe it’s both?

More than anything, I wanted people who see this piece to feel something familiar in it. I think we all have moments in our lives when we feel like we’ve lost our sense of meaning or purpose, when we’re here but somehow feel like we’re disappearing. That’s what Callum is going through too.

He’s vanishing, but he’s still here.

And maybe that’s the most human part of it. It’s tragically beautiful.

What do you guys think?
