"Just Checking In" was inspired by my dear friend, mental health activist and talented musician. He shared a video of him singing in his room and even though I didn't understand the Punjabi words- his voice motivated me to paint.
This piece is an expression of sound and the way music can move you through mystical spaces. It's meant as an allegory for the way our friends and their kindness can bring hope to the depths of our own oceans. It is a testament to how creativity from people inspires creativity in people and how expressing yourself can actually be an act of community support.
