" You’re born, you take shit. Get out in the world, you take more shit. Climb a little higher, take less shit. Till one day you're in the rarefied atmosphere and you’ve forgotten what shit even looks like. Welcome to the layer cake, son. " - From Layer Cake (Michael Gambon
 
In this painting, I've captured a scene from the movie 'Layer Cake' that carries a simple yet profound message about life. It reminds us that life is a mix of both sweet and challenging moments.
 
We're all born into a world where we experience ups and downs. We learn to work hard and strive for a better life, hoping to encounter fewer challenges along the way. It's a journey to reach that 'sweet' spot in life.
 
But there's a deeper lesson here. Sometimes, a bit of adversity is essential for us to truly appreciate the sweet moments. It's through facing challenges that we learn and grow, gaining a richer perspective on life.
 
This painting encourages us to embrace both the sweet and challenging aspects of life, recognizing that they are intertwined, and together, they shape our unique journey.
