Burn out

2026 - Glasgow

Painted for Yard Works Festival, this mural was inspired by personal experiences of burnout and the feeling of creative exhaustion while still trying to cultivate growth and beauty around yourself. The piece explores the tension between depletion and resilience.

Inspired by Shakespearean drama and theatrical storytelling, the mural was designed to feel both poetic and emotionally charged, with darker undertones running beneath the surface. A rainbow glass paintbrush delicately balances through the eye, acting as a symbol of creativity itself, fragile, precarious, and easily broken, yet still full of colour and possibility.
