Behind Me I

Description

The work “Behind Me” is a powerful visual metaphor for moving forward and intentionally leaving the past behind. The figure is seen only from the back, his broad hat and shoulders dominating the foreground as he gazes out over the turbulent, rich green waters. This deliberate anonymity emphasizes the universal act of focusing solely on the future without turning back to look at what has been overcome.

This painting speaks to the necessary courage required to break away from history, pain, or constraint. The intense light on his back and the powerful waves beneath him suggest a past that was tumultuous but now serves only as a point of reference. “Behind Me” honors the profound strength and singular determination of a soul that chooses a new path and acknowledges that one’s journey forward is the only direction that matters.
