Dreams Unyielding

In my early twenties I developed a serious chronic pain problem in my neck and upper back. This pain radiated down my arms and into my hands which made it impossible to live a normal life I quickly went from someone who could work on 4 hours of sleep to someone that spent almost all hours of the day laying down This made me feel so ashamed I slowly isolated myself from my friends and didn't ask for the help that i needed I was already in a dark place before this happened but as the condition took over my life the only thing that kept me going was the hope of one day becoming an artist Making beautiful art was my north star, my last hope for a meaningful life. I wanted to capture that struggle in this piece, holding onto the vision of a beautiful future to withstand the waves of suffering. Thank you for letting me share my art and life experiences with you!
