Rose Tinted
This piece was created using the prompt “depict your biggest insecurity”. I chose to depict my tendency to romanticize other people and their characteristics. I realized that I rather view others through a distorted lens instead of seeing their flaws. Rose colored is an adjective used to describe a naive and unrealistic viewpoint. The woman wears rose colored glasses to see her lover as an ideal partner. The smeared lipstick and broken glasses portray the clear flaws in their relationship. Even though the woman’s glasses are broken, she continues to wear them, determined to focus on the good qualities of her partner. The feathers portray the underlying fear of seeing the ugly truth.
Teach Me
This piece was created while I was reflecting on the strain in my relationships. This portrays my relationship with my teacher, and how we both failed to meet each other’s expectations. I expected her to help me during my academic struggles; she expected me to be an independent student. The subtle strings in the artwork show how the connection between two people can be complicated by miscommunication. The apple core head represents how vulnerable I was in the situation. I think as a student we have to be open with our teachers in order to truly learn.
