Well, this painting is finally done.
This year was a very hard year for me. I had under gone with worst summer of my life 2.0 and was feeling as there was no hope. I had planned to kill myself today, Dec 29. Through hospitalization and proper medication I have finally become more stable. I painted this to commemorate this day as the day i did not die. Kite is a huge influence on my life. he’s one of my strongest kins and so i decided to paint him as a symbol of keeping on. Most people joke about getting the death card when doing a tarot reading, but honestly it’s such a good card. It is about the end, yes, but the end of a cycle and the birth of another. In my painting, Kite is fighting for his life. His head and arm is to his side, showing the past, and neferpitou a hand and head to his other side, showing the future. The sun is rising in the other side of the lake. His time is coming to an end. But he refuses to die. He is reborn. He tries again. That is the message i am hoping is conveyed in this painting. I view this time as the end of this cycle of my life, and the start of another one. A brighter one.
