Artwork Narrative
This focal rod took shape mentally during my first month of living sober as I stabilized myself emotionally and physically. Through this exercise I wanted to capture reverberations similar to those that I saw and felt in early recovery.
As my self-worth and self-trust gradually grew, I was able to look at more stimuli in my life and decide whether my current responses to them were productive or healthy. Stimuli included temporary thoughts and feelings, dynamics with others, others' decisions made outside of my control, and temporary comforts. I could also see how ultimately they were not my strongest sources of stability and remembered that my guiding rod was formed from my intuition and sobriety.
To see many of the aspects in my life more clearly, as they stand relative to my focus and how things connect, has made it easier to sense a balance or when I feel off balance.
Through the process of this drawing, I aimed to respect the line, the intimacy of drawing, and the balance of the composition. Also, the challenge of executing the lighter strokes reminded me of the challenge of remaining self-compassionate when seeking to create and maintain a more balanced life.
