Art Description (What inspired you to create the artwork?) |
What inspired me to create this artwork was I wanted to create something with a late 90's early 2000s grunge, pop-punk rock feel. The idea was to create a design that embodied the feeling of a fractured memory. Using the locker with a Polaroid image on it, the idea was to evoke memories of the past both represented by a locker from school and a Polaroid. Also, I chose to have multiple skulls within the polaroid to represent the high emotion of dissociation. Each skull represents a memory, yet the over-exposure effect within the period shows that the memories are fragmented and lack coherence and context, which is what a fragmented memory is. The dirty, grungy feel also shows that era I want to recreate, but it also shows that when looking back into memories they are often disported by imperfections of the reality of the events that actually happened. |
