Abstract
The artist's statement: "Back From Burnout" is a multi-media representation of resilience through the obstacles of daily life. Amidst the chaos of society, art was supposed to provide an outlet for worldly frustrations. So why was making art so hard? A myriad of factors led me to a seemingly immovable state of compassion fatigue, limiting my creativity and ability to do the art I love. In facing the weight of expectations from others, physical limitations from overuse, mental health fluctuations, and a major state of burnout, art became a chore. An assignment. A thing to just "get done". With these obstacles in mind, "Back From Burnout" explores the complexity of hardship in the artist/human experience, in my hopes of learning how to fall in love with creating once more. "Back From Burnout" is a story of acknowledgment, acceptance, and optimism.
