A self portrait meant to symbolize the common man and how they have the ability to heal others. Just like the tears of a Phoenix have healing powers and are able to heal wounds, the common man is able to heal other people’s mental and emotional wounds, even without their realization. Each person has an important role and several people around us draw comfort from our presence and support. Being conscious of this role will make us feel more connected, more purposeful, and will likely drive us to be more empathetic and supportive. The underlying message of this painting is - We all are superheroes in someone’s life, often without realizing it.
