A reflection on mental health and mindfulness practices, this artwork aims to comment the internalisation of social control. Giving way is a short act of surrendering control, allowing others to pass before continuing on your path. This painting asks viewers to question how much control they surrender every day and to whom. The mirrored text taken from street signs, symbolises how our inner thoughts can be flipped and twisted, a distorted view of reality.
