This is an abstraction series that I did for my painting class. The premise is an interpretation of self, and represents where I feel my life is at right now. I am attempting to figure out where my life is going, and this abstracted scene of bars and water horizon line are a metaphor for if I am looking at the barriers in life or the opportunities. As the paintings progress, the barriers begin to recede, showing that as our perceptions of life change, the barriers themselves change, until we no longer see what is holding us back, but what is possible and available for us if we are willing to see it. The concept for me is very important because I truly believe the way we perceive life shows a lot about our characters, values, and motivations in life.
