Additional Information: The painting captures the bittersweet essence of post-graduation limbo. As I stood on the threshold, degree in hand, the initial euphoria of accomplishment slowly gave way to an unsettling uncertainty. The applause faded, congratulatory messages dwindled, and I was left facing an endless expanse of possibility, devoid of direction. While my peers seemed to navigate their paths with purpose - some plunging into careers, others venturing abroad or pursuing further studies - I felt suspended in time, unsure which route to take. The open road stretched before me like an unfurled canvas, blank and daunting. On some days, I cried myself to sleep, but one day, I decided I would never feel sorry for myself.
