The personification of escape
. At first, it was just a simple creature standing in the void, without direction, without a story. But after a long discussion about this character with Christopher, we wanted to give it life, to give it a purpose. This is how the personification of escape was born; a creature running away from a cloud of green dust, chased by a dark, moving form something almost alive.
When I showed this drawing to a classmate, he told me it was the story of his life. He had spent his existence running away running from his problems, his past, running from everything. This is the essence of this artwork. It is not just about an escape; it questions what makes us run and what always tries to catch up with us.
