Fifth Burnout reflects rebirth; a metamorphosis. Through two similar yet distinct forms, the artist depicts a new change within. The work is part of the Self-Love series, a body of works the artist uses as a means of healing. She crumbles under the weight of expectations—both real and perceived—and ultimately decides to shed her old skin.

"I still remember the first time I took a new breath

It was the day I allowed myself to be me

The day I shed my old cocoon

And took on a new, ‘purer’ form

It was like the world around me had shifted—

the air grew lighter, and everything seemed to breathe anew”
