Rumination

"Rumination" captures the essence of deep contemplation, with the figure lost in its overwhelming thoughts. The bold black strikes across the figure represent how these thoughts can take over, creating a sense of being trapped. The painting speaks to the suffocating nature of ruminating on thoughts, where the mind becomes consumed and restricted by its internal struggles. Through this piece, the artist explores the overwhelming power of mental states that can confine and control, emphasising how rumination can feel like a barrier to peace.
