So, winter break ends tomorrow and I'm fairly sure that I have another piece due for art the day we come back. If not, then at least I'm prepared.
As some of you (probably none of you ;-; ) know, I'm exploring the concept of Everyday Prisons in my AP Studio Art class. I've come up with ideas like how our minds trap us, addiction, commitment, fear, but I generally stray away from anything to overtly gruesome or physical.
At least until this piece popped into my mind.
This is basically a representation of the past and how it often holds so many of us down, the process from which freeing ourselves from is brutally painful and almost impossible. These things are demonstrated composition through the girl being pinned by these shards, many of which hold memories of her life that've all hurt in in some way or another (which is why they've embedded her as they have.) It also signifies the struggle that we go through trying to tear ourselves away from these recollections and the pain accompanied by them by the way she attempts to pull the shard in her arm out. In a lot of ways, she's hurting herself further but also allowing the possibility to mend and grow.
So, that's my sixth piece in my concentration. Half way done. Six more to go.
