Art Description (What inspired you to create the artwork?) My image describe the parts of ourselves we create of who we are. Specifically, our emotions. These 4 parts are all different from one another. The top right, normal, is what we want people to see, the look and feel of being “normal” in order for people to see we are like them.

The top left, negative black and white, represents the twisted and sinister thoughts we think about ourselves and each other. We tend to feel shame with this part of ourselves. For example, the thought and act of getting revenge when we get hurt by someone. Although, this is completely natural, the repercussion of regret comes, when our morals come along. But it arrives too late.

The bottom left, black and white, represents our deep inner feelings of wanting others to see our true selves, but we know deep down, it is clear as day that we should not do it because one is a good though and the other is a bad one. Which is why it is polar opposite of each other, hence black and white.

The bottom right, negative, describes the emotion anxiety and depression. This part is probably the worst disease anyone can have. We have no control over this and there is no permanent solution. Anyone can get this, for example, getting it easy from a simple heartbreak to a traumatic experience.

Although all 4 parts have a negative influence to everyone, this is just a part of having a conscience, some things are a way to help us cope our emotions, like a defensive mechanism. And the other is just plain bad. We are all different in a way and because of it, there is no such thing as being “normal”. Just be who you are and be happy, even if everyone sees you being weird, because I know they are too.
