Burnout in an Essence
Skye N.
Liquid Watercolor, salt, colored pencil
-
A layered liquid watercolor and salt piece with colored pencil imagery over top. This piece is meant to demonstrate three large emotions present when someone is going through burnout. The red represents anger and frustration, the mouths being negative input and comments perceived from others, adding to the anger that is felt. The blue is meant to be sadness and disappointment in yourself. The eyes over top meant to convey a sense of being constantly watched and under many expectations by those around you. The grey is meant to represent a sense of numbness that comes on as you get deeper into the burnout. It shows the rising want to just give up because everything is so overwhelming and hard to accomplish. The piece started out with just the blue piece, then I added the other silhouette colors to further develop the concept and turned it into a triptych.

Creativity to me is one’s ability to make their imaginations come to life in any way. It’s an expression of feeling and ideas, both abstract and not. It’s an ability to be unique and fully express yourself. I’m creative through music and art and use it to express inner thoughts.
