How I Feel

Size:41 x 53 in.

In "How I Feel," Toby Mulligan orchestrates a poignant visual symphony that delves into the intricacies of emotion and introspection. Set upon a canvas measuring 36 x 48 inches, a woman stands with her back turned, her left arm extended and palm pressed against the wall before her. As if seeking solace or connection, her posture conveys a profound sense of contemplation and vulnerability.

Against a backdrop of swirling hues and washes of pink, white, and blue, Mulligan weaves a tapestry of emotion and expression. The dynamic strokes of paint evoke a whirlwind of feeling, mirroring the complex inner landscape of the woman depicted. Amidst this swirling sea of color, her shadow cast upon the wall serves as a poignant reminder of the tangible weight of emotion, while her raised right foot hints at a subtle tension or readiness to step into the unknown. "How I Feel" emerges as a profound meditation on the intersection of identity, emotion, and the transformative power of self-reflection.
