Exploring the Boundaries of Thought and Emotion

Ruminative Thought Loop explores the mental entanglement of persistent, repetitive thoughts that spiral inward, preventing progress or clarity. The piece features a figure surrounded by swirling patterns or fragmented imagery, each element representing a different aspect of the mind’s unyielding cycles. These repeating forms create a visual metaphor for the mental struggle of being trapped in one’s own reflections, often revisiting past mistakes, anxieties, or unresolved questions without moving past them.

This piece invites viewers to reflect on their own experiences of overthinking and mental entrapment, offering a space for contemplation on the power of the mind to either free or confine us. It’s a visual exploration of how thoughts can dominate our emotional landscape, and how breaking free from these loops requires more than simply pushing them away—it requires understanding the complexity of our mental and emotional processes.
