I Was Utterly Broken... And I Pieced Myself Back Together Through This Painting.

This is an intuitive self portrait I created for myself during a time of transition and healing from chronic illness, depression, anxiety and a list of other experiences while on a pharmaceutical rollercoaster.
It expresses the feeling of shattering, breaking apart, losing my identity and then the pieces coming together again. I just kept painting and painting until I started to regain my sense of self.
I titled it "addendum", as I was in a state of revision... learning that I can continually add to the understanding of myself, being perpetually incomplete, yet whole at the same time.
