In life, there is a minimal amount of choices we have control over. Like what kind of people we are, who we befriend, how we will live our lives and more. But there are aspects in which choice is not an option, and where you come from is one of them, Unfortunately we can’t decide what kind of family we are born into, or where we live when we are little. All we can do is take all of that, and “bloom where we are planted.” This quote to me means that you can take all of the negatives and positives and transform them into ways in which you can improve, and continue developing as a person. Instead of constantly wishing you had something you don’t, discover your own talents and passions and create a goal for yourself. You could be born with a particular talent, but without all the hard work of practice, that talent will never truly bloom.
The quote that inspired me, and has inspired me for a really long time now is by one of my favorite artists called Landon and it reads, “You are not damned by others judgement.” I’ve used this quote before for my summer work, but I decided to use it again because it’s such a simple yet strong quote to me. Being able to diminish the judgement holding you back from any kind of situation is such a relieving feeling. Being able to say “I don’t care about all of this” is just great.
For this project, I decided to try something new and took a risk with working on a black canvas instead of a white one. I’ve always really liked the inverted images of the highlight being accentuated more than the shadows, so I tried to mimic that. I decided to draw a giant jellyfish surrounded by many tiny ones. I drew it in correlation to the quote, because when I was little, I was at the beach when I realized that you really aren’t damned to other people’s judgements, and so the beach holds a small special place in my heart for that. I used a reference picture from Pinterest in order to draw the jellyfish for I’ve never drawn one before. I tried new things by trying to incorporate some color into it too, but I feel like I ruined it by adding it at the last minute. Overall I’m satisfied with how it came out, but I wish I made it look a little better.
