This is a study of the relaxed mind and how we calm down the cogitative part of our consciousness. This is also an exploration through research into what is the differences between relaxation and sleep. Throughout this project I wanted to disconnect the viewers gaze from the people in the paintings, through the eyes and body language to depict that they are in a different realm to ours.  The imagery is perceived as something that we can relate too, this enables the emotions to create a sense of being uncomfortable or to be unease and to be  takin by paintings. The depiction of an empty mind when our bodies are relaxed through an abstract landscape which is  bold in the backgrounds and bright colours.
