“I am from Mercury” deals with the topic of loss. The woman in my painting is wearing black as an expression of mourning. The scene could show her at or after a funeral; she is looking down, and her facial expression shows sadness. I myself have been dealing with loss throughout my life. Loss and mourning are topics that should be addressed.
“I am from Mercury” stands for “I am sad,” “I lost someone,” “I am mourning” — acknowledging the loss and feelings that we all have. I feel that in our everyday life of work, daily household chores and tasks, and the adaptations we have to make, this acknowledgement and honest disclosure of our feelings — which we often have to bury in order to “function” — is actually what we truly need.
