The triptych depicts the fight to escape my old life. The first painting “The Dead Man’s Life” illustrates a life with no purpose, no emotion, lying as a dead man wasting my life away. It continues with the second art piece, “The Rebellion”, which shows my rebellion from this way of life, as I attempt to destroy everything related to that period. Lastly, “The Liberation” showcases my achievement of reaching a life with new purpose and ambitions full of color and emotions around the world of art.
“My Own World” is a 70x50cm drawing which was made using soft pastels, markers, pencils and colored pencils. This drawing was inspired by one of my favorite video games, “Mobile Legends Bang Bang”. It shows my three favorite characters from that game in the battlefield. This drawing expresses how video games, especially this one, are very important to me since they helped me gain confidence, humor, friends, and a sense of escape and safety from reality’s harsh grasp on my life.
A bunch of drawings will be presented, most made by me, but some made by my friends. Each drawing is a body that has been drawn to represent either a vague word such as “void” or “desert” or the bodily representation of an instrumental music track. All of the drawings were made either by stimuli given from me to my friends or words they gave to me, and I had to give them a body. It is a project made to challenge anthropocentrism and post-humanism, and examine how we as people perceive the world around us, including our own concepts.
