It's Not You, It's 3 AM

This piece was born somewhere between a late-night spiral, a half-charged phone, and the realization that modern dating is… a lot. It’s Not You, It’s 3 AM is about the red flags we ignore, the ones we spot too late, and the emotional gymnastics of situationships that never quite land. It’s about bad first dates, great first dates that go absolutely nowhere, and the quiet frustration of wondering how anyone is supposed to find something real in a swipe-right world.

Dating apps have given us access to everyone—and somehow left us feeling more alone. We’re overthinking texts, rereading silence, romanticizing potential, and convincing ourselves that ghosting isn’t personal (even when it kind of feels like it is). This painting holds that tension: the humor, the exhaustion, the hope we pretend we don’t have anymore… but totally do.

If you’ve ever stared at the ceiling at 3 AM wondering what just happened, this one’s for you.
