Abscission
Colored pencil on paper
Sketch:
This piece deals with the constant need to be wanted and giving all of yourself, no matter the damage it causes to your own self (body or mind), to get that.
I was inspired by the classic "He loves me... he loves me not..." game that I would play when I was younger. You pick a flower and each time you say, "they love me," or "they love me not," you pick a petal off until you have none left, whichever you end on decides if the object of your affection feels the same. Though when I would play this game, I would actually keep picking off parts of the flower or any plant I found until I got the answer I wanted.
