I Threw Every Ball I Own In The Air - 30" x 40" acrylic on canvas

Centering on the theme of overcompensation and extending beyond one's limits, this artwork provides insight into the tendencies of neurodivergent individuals to engage in such behaviors. This is often driven by a desire to demonstrate superiority over the perceived "shortcomings" commonly associated with their condition. The meticulous line work, coupled with the dynamic motion and energy represented by the "balls," serves to illustrate the obsessive and frenetic energy that characterizes this experience.
