Relapse Dance
Though I’ve made changes, I still stumble. I wasn’t paying attention and before I knew it I fell into a familiar pattern, a comfortable rhythm, and a dance I knew once before.
Though I swore off these old habits, why do I find myself dancing to their tune again?

In this painting, I try to depict the struggle of falling back into bad habits. How enticing it can be, but also regretful, like an open flame ready to burn out of control. I took imagery of dancers and deconstructed them, emphasizing the blurred movement from one form to the other. The three figures represent one person at different points in their life falling in and out of relapse.
