“During the pandemic, I felt very lonely, no friends, no social, then I had a hard time opening to people, even my family because I have a fear of abandonment. I feared that if I were to tell people my true feelings, I would be considered weak, and people would leave me because of it. Sleeping is my form of escaping this fear. I would often dream of this girl in the painting, and she was just like me; someone who is trying to cut people off even though she is going to be all alone without him. Her being in water is like me being in my bed, both drowning into the darkness. Maybe one day, someone will rip off her silk fabric and my warm blanket to pull us out of our misery. ”
