TUB reflects a period of emotional and physical exhaustion, when everyday life began to feel like a repetitive cycle with little room for anything beyond responsibility. Created around the concept of a map, the painting draws from my daily routine of balancing school, work, and personal obligations, with the shower becoming the one place where I could find a moment of stillness. As the stress of this period accumulated, I began collecting the hair that gathered in the drain, eventually incorporating it directly into the painting. The bathtub’s grid-like surface began to resemble a map, while the strands of hair formed a path through it. Together, they trace a personal landscape of routine, stress, and the gradual loss of time, identity, and connection to myself.
