Something I love about art is how you can express your emotions through anything-painting, drawing, photography, etc. You turn something broken into something beautiful
How has our inner traumas affected our current lives? Psychological dilemma's inside ourselves show the window to our soul to others. I have decided to show our inner challenges through portraits and landscapes. I researched first how mental illnesses or problems in ourselves reflect on the outside world. I then proceeded to experiment with abandoned places, trying to capture the brokenness using different angles. I revised these pieces by zooming out to capture a building as a whole instead of just objects. This then turned into me becoming intrigued by psychological issues. I experimented with different known problems and how it feels to portray these emotions. I experimented with different lighting to show emotions and how challenges overcome us. I continued to revise my work to incorporate new mentalities into my work. I used black and white to show how when in a certain headspace, it’s hard for people to express those emotions. Ultimately, my experimentation and revision allowed me to create pieces that reflect inner traumas.
