When creating this piece, I wanted to focus on the struggle of removing oneself from their old identity and habits. And for me that’s been a tug-of-war battle that switches between progress and temptation to remain in the comfort of what I know.

The feeling to me felt like I had to remove myself from my current identity and being to get closer to where I wanted to be. Which led to the literal demonstration of the figure “spirit” detatching from his body as he’s being pulled down by these hands which some may also interpret as his old self.
