Is this considered astroplaning?

At some point, staring at all the dahlias my fiancé grows, I started imagining them floating around in space. Not entirely sure how I got there, but the more I thought about it, the more a galaxy of flowers made perfect sense.

Astroplaning aka astral projection is the idea of having an out-of-body experience, and I started thinking about how being in love can sometimes feel a little like that. That strange euphoria of being completely consumed by something, where everything around you feels a little less grounded in reality. Somewhere between floating through space and being completely lovestruck is where this painting landed.

This one is much looser than the others in the series. I revisited techniques I used almost religiously nearly ten years ago, but approached them with a slightly more grown-up perspective. Lots of spray paint, drips, splatters, and a lot less control over where things landed. It was a nice reminder of how much fun it is to just let things happen instead of trying to control every little detail. Apparently, I need to do that more often lol.

So, would you consider this astroplaning?
