ANIMA is the feminine part of a man's personality. At some point in my life I was a TOUGH GUY. Fully protective of my vulnerabilities and trying so hard to never let anyone see me weak. I had to learn that there is strength in vulnerability and also find a balance between my growing softer side (ANIMA), and my already strong qualities (PERSONA).

This artwork speaks about that point of my life when I was trying to strike that balance between staying strong and at the same time becoming more empathetic towards myself and others. It is an expression of the sense of liberation I felt from finally been able to confront the emotions I have been avoiding all my life.
