This one came out of me like a prism exploding in slow motion. Every line, every curve, every color pocket is a different version of reality trying to make eye contact with the others. Some days I think it’s a map of a soul mid-reincarnation. Other days, it feels like a satellite photo of thoughts being born at once across parallel lives.
I didn’t sketch anything for this—it just flowed. Like the painting already existed and I was just uncovering it. Each triangle is a room. A dimension. A timeline. A feeling. They don’t compete, they just are. All coexisting, folded into one another like the universe playing origami with itself.
I believe we’re all doing this—living a dozen lives at once, even if we’re only aware of one. Dreaming different dreams, loving different people, learning the same lessons again and again in different skin. Time isn’t a line, it’s a web. And somewhere in the center, we’re laughing at the illusion that it was ever linear.
This painting is me saying:
“You’re not stuck. You’re just zoomed in too far.”
Back up, breathe, and maybe you’ll see the other doors.
