Hyperfocus

Floating from this world into abstract realms where time stands still and ideas come at the blink of an eye.

Painting will almost always pull me into hyper focus where I concentrate only on the piece in front of me. I can get a lot of work done when I am concentrated like that, but it leaves me fatigued if I am not careful. Interruptions during this time can feel like an ambush and are not welcomed even for basic needs like hunger or thirst. Learning to set myself up for success and to move in and out of hyper focus in more healthy ways is helping me thrive and take better care of my body.

This is a part of my „Floating Tiger“ series, five paintings that process the autism diagnosis I got at 27. Finding myself and truly embracing my neurodivergence was freeing, exhilarating, healing, devastating, and connecting. Each aspect is painted as a tiger out of its element - floating, adapting, strong and resilient. This series is for every person that felt different and lost at one point in their lives, you are pushing through boundaries that are invisible to the world. Embracing and accommodating yourself is a long process but now you have a community.

This painting will add a pop of color to your home and is sure to brighten up any room you place it in. Let it remind you of your own strength one day at a time.
