About This Artwork
This work depicts the feeling a person goes through when they are in a marriage that is smothering them. The victim is struggling to keep his head over water, trying to keep his marriage together, but failing to find happiness and risking his sanity in the process. He suffers from the extreme unhappiness of a relationship that fails to nurture his needs . . . fails to understand him . . . and fails to endow him with the happiness which a fulfilling relationship should provide. He is at the crux of a choice: whether to stay in the marriage and continue to struggle to tread water, and to put on his "happy face" for everyone around him, yet continue to be unfulfilled and unhappy; or whether to pull himself out of the muck of unhappiness, to be truly honest with the people in his life that tie him down, and to get a fresh start toward the pursuit of happiness and a fulfilling life.
This is a mixed media piece that features sculpted wire mesh and acrylic on canvas.
