This series is all about overwhelm. Feeling overwhelmed is something we can all resonate with and many of us experience this throughout our lives, some of us more than others. Life in general can be overwhelming, whether you have a stressful job, bad health, a toxic relationship or a sick loved one. If you are empathic, overwhelm is something you will experience more frequently as you feel energy everywhere. If you are a sensitive person, the senses can be overwhelmed by noise, lights or even social interactions. This sensory overload can be so disabling, making overwhelming moments difficult to navigate through. Fortunately, overwhelm does pass eventually and we can return to a more calm state. These paintings reflect the anxiety of overwhelm, with bright textured colours overlaid on each other. They have no particular direction or purpose, they have no sense of control, similar to how overwhelm takes hold.
