Codependency

2026 | Watercolor on 300 gsm Watercolor Paper | 20x30 | Price TBD. At the center of the painting is a woman surrounded by hands, weaving threads around her. I used a stiff-bristled brush to create a double-exposure effect around the head, suggesting a blurred or fragmented state of mind. The work explores the feeling of losing oneself within codependency — losing one's sense of control, inner peace, and clarity. The threads become a metaphor for emotional entanglement: the more a person becomes caught in the relationship, the harder it becomes to distinguish where their own thoughts, needs, and identity end and another person's begin.
