‘I Guess She’s Gotta Cut Her Blue Hair Off’ is about reflection on the grief, guilt and then emotional release of loosing contact with someone dear. Its about embodying the pain to the point where it becomes who you are and then finally letting it go.
‘Doe Eyes’ is a poem that talks about the moment when your inner walls crumble, when the inner child meets the guilt, silence and exhaustion, giving way to remembrance and yearning for the original innocence. It’s about embracing vulnerability and finding ‘home’ not in escape, but in emotional truth.

Title: Layers of FearMedium: Watercolour on PaperArtist: Aayati Description:Layers of Fear is my very first watercolour painting — a deeply personal exploration of emotion, vulnerability, and the inner self. Using layered tones of blue, the faceless form represents how fear often buries itself in quiet, hidden strata within us, rarely seen but deeply felt. Each ring within the figure’s head suggests a different stage or intensity of fear from surface unease to deeper, darker voids of anxiety and uncertainty. Created as an initial step into the world of watercolours, this piece was both a technical challenge and an emotional release. It marks the beginning of my journey with the medium, where each brushstroke taught me not just about paint — but about expressing the unseen.
This is a poem that traces a journey from anxious self-doubt to a state of quiet acceptance. The poem, explores the struggle of trying to find the “right” way to handle life’s burdens and the ultimate realization that perhaps there isn’t one.
