Mind Body and Spirit Project
Artist's Statement
The goal for this art project was a 3 piece representation of my mind, body, and spirit encapsulated in collage form. In these works the goal was to share with the audience how it feels to have my mind, body, and spirit. There are light and dark parts to emphasize the battle between right and wrong.
The light flares, halo, and circles emphasize the light that is in my vision (positive outlook), and circular in my mind to emphasize that no matter what train of thought I’m having it always circles back to the light. Dark is represented in the skeletons, shadows, tentacles, and the horns. The dark is mostly emphasized in my spirit because I love the more dark and gothic types of style and often my zodiac sign is associated with it.
My most important points for this work are the light and dark aspects since I am constantly fighting a battle of keeping myself positive when the negative threatens to drag me down. I have struggled with depression and anxiety for a long time now and this art piece has been an outlet to put my feelings down. The most important lesson I carry with me is that “Always remind yourself that your track record for making it through difficult days is flawless.” - unknown
