Insomnia is a condition that affects my daily life. When I lie down in my bed, I feel as if my mind becomes completely blank, embracing the total darkness in my room. To fall asleep, I have to initiate a nightly routine of tossing and turning to find the right position. I depict this routine through this piece. As night continues to progress and day light begins to seep through my curtains, my positions vary. The bright white colored pencil is representative of my clear state of consciousness, disregarding my will to rest.
