Picking 4

Picking 4 is an acrylic painting on canvas. My goal was to bring light to a habit I do that is a manifestation of my anxiety. Over the last few years, I’ve been working on healing past trauma. I’ve realized that picking at my hands is something I do without even thinking about it. Sometimes I’ve noticed it is when I feel emotionally heightened, other times when I’m bored or distracted by my internal thoughts. I wanted to illustrate my hands in a beautiful way using aggressive repetitive brushwork. It’s my goal for my viewer to feel the movement of the piece while pushing them to feel the overwhelmed emotion that I feel while I do this habit.
