Deep Within - Elisha Harteis
4’h x 8’w
Original Mural: Mounted porcelain bubbles
Artist Statement: The figure emerges in a concentration of bubbles, sullen and empowered from a static moment of personal pain and vulnerability. She is at a moment of choice. A calmness that is depicted in the corners of her mouth. The bubbles symbolize a moment from childhood, encompassing the perceived sweet innocence of childhood while juxtaposing the memory with her expression and gesture. There emerges power at the moment of choice.
I feel like we have all been there. It’s what makes us. These moments, these decisions are what makes being human interesting and challenging as we try to navigate or change pathways that make us whole.
