One of the key aspects of art, in enjoying and creating it, is interpretation. People come from many different backgrounds and the experiences that they have in life inform the thoughts and decisions that they make in the present. Often times, two people can look at the same piece of artwork and come up with different interpretations based on the lives that they have lived. In psychotherapy, the work we do is often in guiding our patients to examine and interpret their feelings and the experiences that they have been through. Art is merely the unguided journey.
In Between the Waves
(Acrylic Painting, 48” x 36”)
In Between the Waves symbolizes the peace that has occurred after each peak of the pandemic. The future is uncertain, like the mist over the ocean in the early morning. Though you cannot see exactly what the future holds, it grows brighter and the days move forward.
