Only those who do not have obsessive “what if” thoughts can afford to sit with their backs to someone or something and in doing so feel relaxed. However, the girl on the canvas, even if she is under the shadow that covers her most vulnerable part, does not have the feeling of safety that she would seem to have.
This painting is about anxiety, which does not allow you to calmly relax even on vacation, when all your affairs and worries are left behind at home. The canvas depicts a girl who managed to escape to a sunny sandy beach after a hard work. Her dark brown hair carefully falls down her fragile tanned back. Her thoughts may be far from this heavenly place, which is hinted at by the shadow of an exotic tree. The nature of an unfamiliar place that should bring pleasure becomes a trap in this case. Anxiety, like a spider or a cockroach, wraps around the back and creeps up to the neck to choke her with hundreds of thoughts.
The recipe for how to stop feeling vulnerable is secret and unique for each person. This picture is a struggle
