A teapot simmers, its surface inscribed with “GOOD ENOUGH,” a plea for approval—whether to itself or others. Yet from its spout rises only a bubble, fragile and doomed to burst in the air. This is not effort, but its illusion—a tension that will never become release.
Inspired by William Blake, this painting echoes The First Book of Urizen, where Urizen ensnares the world in the web of his suffering: “A Web, dark & cold, throughout all / The tormented element stretch’d / From the sorrows of Urizen’s soul.” Like Urizen, the teapot declares “good enough,” but its efforts dissolve into nothingness, leaving only an echo of futility.
