This artwork is a part of an ongoing series “Inner demons”. I created this drawing during the time when I felt overwhelmed by too many thoughts and voices floating in my head. I still must keep reminding myself every day to be just here and now, with the action, I’m doing at the moment. The mind can be your biggest enemy or best friend. You are the one who chooses. Taking all those voices out of my head helped me to create a space for thoughts light and delicate like the wings of a butterfly.
Graphite on Bristol paper. 21×29.7cm (A4).
Have you ever heard this voice
Nagging deeply in your head
You don’t even have a choice
As it spins it’s tangled thread
You just feel this nauseous squeeze
As it slips down through the spine
You just wish to be at ease
But it whispers – you are mine
Sea of thought swirling in trance
You are not enough they say
Come and join this vicious dance
Do not speak and obey
But…
Have you ever heard this voice
Like soft whisper in your heart
You must know you have a choice
That you play the biggest part
