This is an immensely personal and emotional piece I made on a literal whim during a stream a few weeks back - to the point where I actually set out to make a completely different picture when I started working on it.
Inspiration struck while I was laying down the lines to compose the piece, and the poses I ended up with seemed to resonate more with this idea than the one I set out to make. I've uploaded a detailed timelapse of the process on YouTube, which you can watch here.
You know that I usually like to go into detail about what's going on in a piece and, wherever appropriate, what its significance is. In this case, however, it's not something I feel prepared to talk about just yet. Hopefully soon.
In any case, I hope you like it. 💝
It’s beautiful and I can tell that a lot of emotion went into this.
Your community is so open and inviting that whenever you’re ready to talk about the inspiration behind this piece you will have plenty of people supporting you and accepting you with open arms.
Thank you Vivi. I consider myself extremely fortunate to be where I am and have all the support that I do; and I don’t take any of it for granted. That said, it never hurts to be reminded of it.
It’s only more agonizing to have to bide my time, and take things slowly and carefully in spite of all the enthusiastic help at my disposal, but I know it’s for the best.
No worries! Whatever you’re working through is deeply personal and it’s understandable that you need to work through things before opening up.
Take your time, find your footing and do whatever you feel is best for you.
Beautiful
