In Progress PicturesFinal PieceI'd like to start off by saying I am so incredibly proud of this piece and it is so liberating to make something that gives me the same since of accomplishment as my self portrait. Don't get me wrong, the pieces after the portrait were successful, but nothing special.
For this piece I was given a task to depict a story of a girl who lost her best friend to suicide. The scene of the door is both literal and conceptual. Literally the last confrontation between the girl and her best friend took places on opposite sides of a door. The friend locked herself in the room and would not let anyone in. This upset the girl because her best friend wasn't opening up to her physically or mentally. The next day, the friend was found dead. Any who enough with the dark details. My conceptual approach to this piece is evident in the differing moods on the outside of the door vs. the inside. According to the girl her best friend was well loved and the world viewed her in a positive light. Unfortunately, the way people are perceived on the outside is not also true to whats happening on the inside. To convey this message the scene outside the door changes from bright happy colors and blooming flowers and inside the door there is dark browns and wilting flowers I added the shower curtain and bottles inside the room because her body was found in the bathroom and she had been drinking. Wow this is sad. The process of the piece was wild, I sat down at 10am on Monday and was done by 10pm the same day. I think i consumed 5 cups of coffee and an unhealthy amount of pizza in the process. The day was draining but incredibly self rewarding. On a technical level, the piece is composed of mainly prismacolored pencil with accents of acrylic paint. I love my vibrant colors and my use of complimentary colors that accent each other. The yellow, orange, and pink colors create a pleasing scheme and I believed every color I use I carried out in the piece. Overall I am very pleased with the outcome of this concentration piece.
