Into the Well portrays an exploration of one’s deep, true inner self. The figure on top is meditating, which is the “key” to diving down past the “five senses” into the subconscious. The figure at the bottom is not trapped or caged; rather, she is safe, vulnerable, and able to express herself through her paintbrush. The smaller canvas is suspended beneath the larger one to represent the gap and distance one must travel to truly delve into one’s deepest self; to find one’s “well-being.”

What makes it mixed media? The key suspends gold wires from which the “five senses” hang. The small canvas attaches to the large canvas by a gold wire on the left side, and clear fishing line on the right side.
