The left piece, Logic , is the representation of peace and non-gun violence. Logic is a rapper in the music world and has always created songs that revolve more around the peaceful side of the industry. The symbol of peace is shown through the Black Lives Matter shirt that he is wearing and the peace sign platform he sits on. The color orange is shown through the letters and peace symbol because it is the same color as the March for Our Lives parade.

Gregor's Room

Image
Charmin Ultrastrong A visual response to the short story  The Metamorphosis  by Franz Kafka. White copy paper, India ink, NO ADHESIVES USED Largest Sculpture measures 2" x  9" x  5" Overview 2 Overview 3 Detail 1 Detail 2 Artist Statement: The sculpture collection titled Campsite reflects my perception of the short story The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka. The story reflects themes of clutter, quarantine, and humiliation. The story behind the theme, humiliation, is that Gregor used to be a high-ranked military officer but when he came back he had to be a traveling agent. This is why Gregor is represented as toilet paper in my project because his career went to s***. The theme of quarantine is represented by keeping the bed frame white because it looks like a sterile hospital room. Since he was locked in his room for such a long time, everything became a cluttered and disgusting mess. I represented clutter through the nasty green color of the mattress. In-process Pictu...

Dinner & A Movie

Image
  The Italian Stallion Inspired by the movie Rocky (1976) Materials: American flag, Bible, Money, Italian sauce, Philly cheesesteak, Vinyl, and a Horse. The photograph displays a journey from rock bottom to the "American dream". The Bible opened on the left conveys Rocky being religious and using God to help guide him on the right path. The Italian sauce works together with the horse or better known as a stallion (Italian Stallion). The Philly cheesesteak represents the city in which the movie takes place, and it also represents being poor and having to eat low-priced foods. The money is thrown in on top of the Bible because that is the final reward and goal at the end of the movie. Finally, the vinyl acts as the dinner plate and represents the movie being filmed in the 70s. The background was selected as an American flag for patriotism throughout the movie and the "American dream".
