Hi! This painting was originally titled "Desperately Trying to Hold On To Keep From Drowning in Someone Else's Misery." Sometimes it takes a lot of words to get the message across.
However, after some speculation, a little insight from others and a change in perspective, I saw that this was really a painting of "Hope." Hope that I won't drown in either my own or another's misery, hope that all will be well. In a more upbeat moment I could even stretch it to "Hope and Faith." Faith that all works out as it should, faith that someone is watching over me and won't let me get sucked into the whirlpool.
