This is one of the first trials of making organic compositions of the things I have been drawing individually. After drawing the 'Alien Spine' series, I went to see Francis Bacon's exhibition in London. I'm not sure how his paintings influenced me but from his technique, I watched something similar, so here, some of the parts are painted in a way that's similar to oil paintings. In the composition, I kept things in parallel view, which, I thought might be worth trying (as originally from the architectural designer background, I do use parallel view a lot and it is most of the time, it shows much more of the 'real essence of things.

Here I first used a cone, a squishy transparent, jellyfish-like thing covering the head of the alien spine or coral. The shadow is cast underneath on the jade stone that the coral is standing on. The yellow background shows the warmness, clumsiness, and awkwardness of something that's beginning.

Since I have been trying to draw a lot of pencil sketches first and then move them onto watercolour, these combinations are tests and studies of my unconscious mind. While drawing this painting, it has been very weird to think that, why and where are these elements coming from in my mind. I need to think, and ponder deeply.

At some point, while I was writing this, I came to think that, maybe that alien thing is me, struggling inside, trying to get out of something. It's all weird, and awkward and clumsy in the beginning. I wouldn't mind if I am clumsy now. It's okay. And I think you should be feeling okay, too.
