Emotional Illiteracy
Material: Acrylic, oil & soft pastel on paper and wood.
Size of original: 41 × 51cm
Handcrafted acrylic frame: orange or blue.
We often opt for blaming one another when we’re hurt. It seems like emotional pain clouds our empathy muscle. We judge the other for not being understanding enough, whilst we aren’t understanding either. I exercise this muscle to be understanding and still struggle with setting my own boundaries. How much do we hide behind telling somebody to take respoonsibility over their emotions versus taking responsibililty over our actions as well.
This piece contains judgements. But acts as a reminder to be kind - to the other and to the self.
