Surface Tension
Series exploring the weight of ordinary moments
We move through our days carrying feelings we've been taught to minimize—the frustrated tears over a small mistake, the disproportionate rage at a minor inconvenience, the sadness that crashes in while cleaning up. These aren't overreactions. They're gloriously, messily human.
Every emotion deserves to be felt. When we let ourselves feel the full catastrophe, something magical happens: we realize everyone else is also barely holding it together. Welcome to the club.
These watercolors celebrate that vulnerable space where containment gives way to release. Where we stop performing "fine" and let it all spill out in glorious shades of red.
The surface can only hold so much. Thank goodness for that.
