Absent

Life sometimes brings memories that we would like to forget. Perhaps you have had an injury or a loss. Possibly you had a terrible date once. You might have even been very sick. Absent is about the freedom achieved when forgetting bad memories. In the painting an almost unidentifiable figure seems to be stretching his arms and embracing freedom.

Placebo

Life is full problems we create in our mind. We think we need to solve these problems that don't even really exist. Maybe you feel too short or too tall or think you have a multitude of other defects, but in reality these kinds of problems are pointless. This painting is like a placebo. It aims to heal a pain that only really exists in your imagination, but the painting doesn't really do anything.
