Leonard Cohen once sang, “You lose your grip, and then you slip into the masterpiece.” "Losing Grip" depicts precisely that moment of derailment in life. Though it may be unwilling and inevitable, if one navigates the experience thoughtfully, losing control can lead to a space of revelation. The central figure tilts their head, the hair falling in the same direction as the right arm, emphasizing surrender. The skeletal left hand suggests the weight of the past, or a sense of loss, while the red strip positioned between the arm and leg appears as a portal to another dimension, as though reality itself has been torn open. This painting honors the truth that happiness and new beginnings often require letting go of something.
