Trapped
Materials: Clear Saran-wrap and red ink
Dimensions: 36in X 12in
For this piece I created, I decided to use 2 simple material which was clear saran-wrap and red ink. I built a saran-wrap installation around the post of the front of a house almost as a shield. This clear shield represents anxiety to me. Personally, I struggle daily with anxiety. Anxiety is something that not everyone deals with or understands. The red ink was used because red represents courage, sacrifice, danger. The images shot are a representation of feeling stuck at home because I don't like to leave my home often with anxiety. My hands pushing against it is the action of feeling trapped/stuck by a clear shield that not many people understand.
For the details in each picture I decided to use this filter on them to indicate the dull colors, and make the hands the main focus of this piece. I chose to sit down in the picture to show weakness. I left my hair covering my face to also use it as a barrier to not see how I am expressing my feelings.
