This piece was created during a time in my life where I wanted all of my art works to embody a sense of perfection. In attempting to create this piece I became completely unsatisfied with how it was turning out. I decided to abandon perfection and just paint. Out of this realization, I created a sun crying into a hand coming from his own mouth. The river is filled with his tears, and this was symbolic of my struggle as I created. perfection is not the goal, the goal is to simply create.
