More about the artwork
You deserve another shot is an invitation to loosen our grip on fear and give ourselves permission to try again. It speaks to that moment when hesitation creeps in, when doubt whispers that maybe it’s better not to risk it. This piece pushes gently in the opposite direction, reminding us that moving forward often begins with a simple act of trust—trust in ourselves, in timing, and in the possibility of something new.
The phrase plays with a double meaning that feels both lighthearted and deeply personal. On one level, it refers to the familiar ritual of raising a shot glass, sharing a toast, and embracing the warmth of the moment. On another, it becomes a metaphor for second chances: the courage to restart, to reattempt, to believe that one experience does not define the outcome of the next.
There is something honest and unapologetic about a shot of tequila. It’s not slow or ceremonial; it’s direct, spontaneous, and decisive. In that immediacy, I find a reflection of the way we sometimes need to act in life—not overthinking, not negotiating with fear, but choosing to move forward even when certainty is absent.
This work acknowledges that not every attempt unfolds as planned. We miscalculate, we stumble, we sometimes spill more than we drink. But failure here is not portrayed as an ending—it’s simply part of the rhythm. What matters is the willingness to stay open, to remain curious, and to keep showing up despite the messiness of the process.
You deserve another shot is also about resilience disguised as pleasure. It embraces the idea that joy and strength are not opposites, but allies. Allowing ourselves another chance does not always require solemn reflection; sometimes it begins with laughter, shared glances, and the confidence to say yes one more time.
There is an undercurrent of self-trust running through the piece—a quiet insistence that we are capable of more than we think. Each new attempt carries the potential for surprise, growth, and unexpected clarity. Giving ourselves another shot becomes an act of self-respect rather than indulgence.
This work celebrates momentum. It honors the choice to continue, to believe that the story is still unfolding, and that every new beginning—no matter how small—deserves to be embraced fully.
You deserve another shot—not because you failed, but because you’re still here, willing to try. Sometimes the bravest decision is simply choosing to begin again.”
