Selamat jalan kekasih/Goodbye my darling

This painting, inspired by Chrisye's song Selamat Jalan Kekasih ("Goodbye my darling"), reflects the artist's emotional journey during a depressive episode. The lyrics, about bidding farewell to a loved one, resonated deeply with her struggles, becoming a metaphor for her relationship with art—a profound love fraught with self-doubt and feelings of inadequacy. Painted in this vulnerable state, the work symbolises an imagined parting between the artist and her creative passion, encapsulating her despair, longing, and the complex bond she shares with art.
