Original artwork description:

"Don't Go Back" embodies the tension between the past and the future, using the symbolism of a ship and ivy to explore themes of movement, departure, and the resistance to return. The ship, anchored in the room, represents a vessel of transformation and escape, while the ivy creeping across the window and the ship’s hull symbolizes nature’s persistent pull and the passage of time. The window acts as a threshold, an opening to a world beyond, yet the ship remains still, caught between the desire for movement and the uncertainty of where it leads.

The ivy’s growth against the window suggests the inevitability of change, as it both confines and embraces, blurring the line between stagnation and progress. The piece speaks to the internal struggle of those who have moved forward, yet find themselves drawn back by memories or unfinished stories. The title, "Don't Go Back," serves as a reminder that despite the allure of familiarity, the future is shaped by the courage to move forward and embrace what lies ahead.
