Never Give Up
October 2024
acrylic on canvas
46 x 26 cm / 18.15 x 10.25 in
The saying Never Give Up is meant to be inspirational to not quit when things get hard. However, there is a line when this inspirational saying goes beyond determination. Turning into an act of futility. When staying put is not in our best interest and could even be detrimental to our survival or success.
Breaking down the symbolism;
The hamster - is any person who is giving everything they have to a cause or goal.
The running wheel - to show that you are going nowhere with your efforts.
The rising water - that what you are doing could be a problem or the rising of problems.
Sometimes the best solution is not to try harder but to quit and go find something better.
