Wholesome Respect Lonesome Being

**Wholesome Respect Lonesome Being;** Being sensitive aware of your surroundings, experiencing awe and wonder, can make it a challenge to relate and connect others.

This artwork is created by Lexa [Lexa Portrait Art](https://lexaportraitart.com) as a co-creation with poet of Susana Rinderle. [Artist Susana Rinderle](https://artist.susanarinderle.com/2025/04/01/captivity/)
I was guided by her poem **In Captivity (7 verses)**.
It is an interesting process to let yourself be guided by someone else poetic lyrics.

I work intuitively, letting the words sink in deeply until a feeling emerges that can be depicted. A felt sense, as it were, matched by movement, color, and shape. I try to capture the essence of an experience in an image.

In this poem, I was touched by the intense connection with nature, the love and determination, and simultaneously and in contrast, the loneliness, the search for connection, the self-doubt, and finding a way through it.

The interconnectedness of everything is a key feature that resonates through this artwork.
It so thin and fragile; truly connecting with every piece of nature. it evokes awe and at the same time a deep sense of the fragility of existence. Realize this paradox and let it sink in, and seek it out again and again, connect with it, and appreciate it. Because it is also enormous and beautiful. It's like a connected spiral of constant deepening, beautiful.
