The red eyes in the dark
2023 Paper Mache 16” x 6 ” x 2 ½” My artwork is about how I used to be terrified of the dark and what might be hidden there.I was really afraid of what might have been in my closets and under my bed that for a couple of years I had to sleep with night light. I would always sort of image this figure hiding in the darkness waiting to attack me while im sleeping.This artwork was created to symbolize my development—specifically, how I've stopped being afraid of the darkness. |
Something to look forward
2023 Oil Pastels 18” x 12” My artwork is about my wishes to go visit or climb a mountain one day. Because me and my family aren’t that financially well off we haven’t really traveled anywhere besides mexico and so it would be nice to go someplace besides Iowa and Mexico. Maybe in the future or another life I’ll be able to climb a mountain and see the sunset or sunrise.I made this piece because it's nice to sort of have something to look forward to doing or experiencing in the future. |
After school
2023 Collage 12” x 14” The story behind this piece is of somebody going to school tired and drained and when finally the school day ends and they get home and do nothing their parents call them lazy. When they want to rant to their parents or even complain to their parents, they make their struggles seem little and they say “why are you tired when you barely do anything”. This relates to me because my parent would treat me and sometimes still treat me like my problems are small. After a while I just stopped ranting to them or complaining to them about school. This piece is based on my feelings and how drained i feel after school. |
