Pearlescent watercolour on Khadi cotton paper. It’s been a ridiculously long time since I created anything original, even something as silly as this abstract little piece. Little victories matter when you are fighting mental illness. It’s hard to explain how it roadblocks your desire to do anything. Hence, such little steps forward are important, at least to me.

I came across an old picture of mine and felt a terrible tug in my heart. Because I know when I am gone, so too is my work. I can’t deny that hurts. I would like to believe that at some carboot sale where my life is sold after being cleared out of where ever I end up, someone will say that photo or piece of art (writing never gains much attention) is nice. That someone will appreciate it. They will, in a way, remember me.
