from the essay: I started sleeping a little better each night, and my strength returned, bit by bit. I began walking through the garden, I practiced diaphragmatic breathing exercises throughout the day, desperate to rebuild my lung capacity, still haunted by the fear of suffocation. It was hard, and it took everything I had just to take a few steps, but I was determined to recover. 39" x 43" Acrylic and Oil Sticks on Canvas (mockup for better experience) Primitive RE aka Sinisa Janjic
