Do you ever wonder how many have cried in anticipation in this place?
Do you ever wonder what happens inside these rooms?
Do you ever wonder where this path takes you?
Will it be a dead end or another room?
Do you ever wonder what lies ahead the hallway?
I think of hallways as a symbol for a process. We always pay attention to the end result, being "there". The path to it most of the times get unnoticed.
It's the most scary part of it all. I mean, you're walking there not knowing what's happening inside these rooms or ahead of you. If you'll get stuck in one room, not being able to move forward forever.
Each rooms are like challenges we have to pass through. Despite of it being scary though, we still move forward. Carrying our past with us... Growing.
Process
I started working on this painting in April, then kinda stopped and continued in August.
