My inspiration for 'Awakening' was to show my experience with the shift from past traumatic memories to moving forward to the present. Its representation is the flow from dark to light reaching upward. I chose blue as a feeling of looking up into the sky creating an openness. Also, blue creates a feeling of calm. As I have said, each piece I paint has significance to me and emerges intuitively.
My artist statement is as follows for this piece.

A journey through emotional memory. An exploration of our past and our inner world, navigating the fluctuations of the emotional self with awareness and gaining a new perspective. Once we have brought our attention to the parallel between childhood experiences and present experiences, we can let them go.
