The painting is inspired by perfectionism and the need to be constantly productive.
This constant feeling that if we’re not always productive, accomplishing something, tiring ourselves out to help other people, meeting other people’s expectations, doing something useful, improving ourselves, always presenting the best versions of ourselves, we’re simply not enough. It’s really tiring.
This fear of failure drives us to burn out and thinking we need to do more to feel okay. But actually, we need to take a step back and re-assess what’s happening in our minds.
Part of being human is that we’re not made to always be on the go. Nature exists to remind us that there are seasons in our lives where we do things at a slower pace, and other seasons are easy and feels like we’re flowing with energy.
The sailboat is a representation of the slowness and rest that we should be consciously doing to re-charge for the next season in life.
