At its center is a dog - powerful, vibrant, full of longing - mid-leap, eyes locked on a yellow tennis ball. The ball reads: LOVE. But this is not just a playful chase. It’s symbolic - the pursuit of love, of connection, of that deep human need to be seen, felt, and held.
But the dog is chained.
On the left side of the canvas, almost subtly, a red chain pulls from its body, anchoring it. It doesn’t scream - but it speaks. Of inner barriers, self-doubt, past pain. Of the ways we get in our own way. Perhaps the dog, like us, believes that love must be perfect - and searches for that ideal in places where it can’t be found.
The colors are loud, alive: vibrant green for growth and longing, bold reds in the flowers as symbols of passion, and cool blues representing depth, unspoken truths, and a peace that still feels far away.
Above, the sky is a cluttered map of thoughts - scribbles, clouds, shapes - mirroring the chaos of a heart that wants too much and trusts too little.
