It's Horrid.2022
Charcoal pencils ... I decided to create a piece that portrayed a specific emotion to the audience. The strong emotions I wanted to convey were fear, anxiety, and derealization. I’ve felt as if I needed a change in scenery and to get outside of my comfort zone. What better way to do this than to draw something uncomforting while feeling outside my normal comfort zone? The story I imagined was that a small child, representing innocence, discovers that there isn't just happiness in the world, and the horrid and terrifying components of the world come flooding into what we usually think is the safest place in the world. Our home. The creatures you see in my piece are terrifying to look at because you feel fear every time you discover something negative that's entirely new to you, you feel scared as if you do not want to face it. The child is on the far end of the room with no escape to emphasize that you can never really avoid these problems and will be forced to confront them eventually.

The DevastationThis art piece is not based on the terrible things that someone can go through, but the emotions that person experience in the time period they are going through it. They don’t have any specific features because I believe that in that very moment, after a person feels that they lost everything, they feel like they are no one. The red and orange is supposed to indicated the flames of devastation.

Luxuries of LifeThe meaning behind this work is not even related to the meaning of the lyrics. This quotes comes from a song from one of my favorite bands, ABBA. I grew up listening to their music, and there is a sense of comfort everytime I hear their music. This song in particular in one of the first ABBA songs I’ve heard.
