Artist statement
My portrait is the picture of me
sits on the ground by the white fence. It expresses my philosophy of unknown of
the future, and no matter how bad the reality is, there is always hope.
The night sky on the background
represent the future, it has a really dark color to represent the unknown of future.
The stars on the night sky are the tiny light that represents the possibilities
of future. The fence in front of me is the coward voice deep in my heart that
tells me not to be brave and step forward. In the photo, I am staring at the
night sky, and trying to figure out what is behind the darkness
Firstly, I asked my roommate to take
the picture of me sitting by the fence. Then I found a picture of the starry night
from Internet. After I layered them on each other, I used Photoshop to make it
black and white with more contract. Although, I had problem with the negative
because it was too light the first time, it turned out to be a really good
picture with many contracts.
I believe high school is the time
period that we find our future direction, and what to do as a job later in life
as well. So we should try all different things in order to find what we most
like. Art as a important part of my life, I really want to achieve something
about art in the future, however, after seeing so many talented people, I do
feel hesitated about continue doing art or not. As we all know, it’s really
hard to make a living doing art if nobody appreciates your work. When parents are
questioning about my dream, when people sneer at my dream about future, I will
just forget about that, and hold on to what I believes. If I cannot take away
the darkness, I will light it up by bringing more possibilities to it.
