A reference drawing (only figurative, not the actual composition) for a painting I hope to one day undertake. To be precise, when I find out where I'm going to spend the next three months of my life.

It's for a series relating to archetypes, spectacles, our peculiar 'brand' of freedom, self-fulfilling prophecies, the Jungian shadow & collective unconscious, ennui, isolation, Utopia/Dystopia, emotional & psychological fracturing... and all that good stuff.

I know this is all very vague and disjointed but conceptually I never work within a specific narrative. It's too stifling for me and I tend to lose interest when I don't allow myself that freedom to branch out, and I prefer work that engages dialogue rather than dictating it. Which is why I really dislike talking about my work, and often find that people who do tend to attribute too much artspeak bullshit and therefore limit any interpretation by already providing it - theirs, that is. I also understand that for a lot of people being cryptic has to do with appearing more mysterious than they actually are. And so, as a concession, I hereby supply you with key words that may indicate somewhat the direction that I am taking... hoping that it might engage you in some ways (atleast in the future when I get around to the series).

Thank you for looking. Feedback is encouraged and immensely appreciated.
