Just a small one. Nothing dramatic. Just the usual 3 a.m. thoughts about time, identity, purpose, productivity - and whether that email sounded too confident.

This painting is about that polite, well-dressed spiral we call overthinking. The circles aren’t chaos - they’re structure. Because even while questioning everything, we try to organize it. Categorize it. Make it aesthetic. If you’re going to doubt reality, at least do it in a composed color palette.

The blue feels calm, controlled. But underneath, something expands and dissolves at the same time. That’s the irony: existential crises rarely look dramatic. They look like a woman standing still, thinking very hard.

We call it “small” just to keep functioning.

But maybe these small crises are proof we’re awake.
Not lost - just aware.

Nothing major.

Just the universe, briefly, inside a head.
