In creating "Unplugged," I initially envisioned a deer in headlights, but after struggling with the composition, I flipped the canvas upside down. To my delight, a vivid red octopus emerged—an unexpected yet familiar presence, as this creature has been my guiding spirit for the past year.
 
This painting emphasizes the importance of disconnecting from our devices and engaging fully in life's experiences. The red octopus symbolizes adaptability, intuition, and a playful curiosity that can inspire us all. Its ability to navigate its surroundings with grace and creativity serves as a reminder to explore the world with an open heart and mind.
 
"Unplugged" invites viewers to reflect on their relationship with technology and encourages a return to the present moment. Through the playful essence of the octopus, I hope to inspire a joyful reconnection with ourselves and the vibrant tapestry of life around us.
