I was thinking about the moments when you do something that feels right to you, even if it makes little sense to anyone else. How uncomfortable that can be when you’re used to considering what everyone might think.

The figures in this painting are difficult to separate. I like that you can follow a line expecting it to belong to one form, then find yourself somewhere else. There’s a certain stubbornness to it that made me call it Rogue.

For me, it’s about allowing yourself to follow an instinct without having a good explanation ready. I’m still learning to do that.
