in this project, we are supposed to find things around our house, whether its nature or “garbage”, and create something different from them.
Rose, Thorn, Bud
With so many things overwhelming my head, I thought this prompt would best fit how i feel at the moment. the purple spikes instead of beautful grass represent the negativtey, or the overhwhelming stress I’ve been dealing with. The darkness below also represents the “lowness” that have been surounding my thoughts. As it reaches higher it gets brighter and form a tulips. I decided to use these flowers instead cause they are my favorite and they bring me happiness. As the butterfly nutures the flowers, it them a sense of hope, allowing them to enlarge and become more hopeful and happy. I used procreate to digitalize this.
Beauty, Ugly
This next prompt represents turning something people may assume as “ugly” into something I may think is beautiful. using toilet paper and an empty toilet roll, I decided to make a tree out of both them and use a green base to represent the field. I wanted to color the entire roll but the paper began to disintegrate quickly from my acrylics, leaving holes. Although I’m pretty satisfied it withheld the weight.
Your Spirit Animal Defeats Your Inner Demon
For my 3rd prompt, I decided “Why not make an ugly version of my spirit animal as a Demon to represent my bear fighting itself??” With this, I used ketchup to present the demon and coffee as the bear. using the coffee to represent the rays attacking the demon, and the demon trying to fight against it.
For my final prompt, I decided to go outside and create the real version of the well that I saw in my dream. Using rocks and sticks, I gathered them to create something that looks hopeful, exactly how it felt when I was running in my dream. here are two different lightings (one with sunlight and one near the evening)
