Beating Heart
Color Pencil (26cm x 32 cm)
Color Pencil (26cm x 32 cm)
Thud… Thud… Thud… The heart quickens as an individual becomes overwhelmed with many thoughts. However, the people around may never notice the anxiety unraveling as the heart is hidden away and encapsulated for safety. I used dark colors and created a metallic style to create a shaky mood that expressed worry and fear. Additionally, I implemented red within the background to further demonstrate the racing of a heartbeat as red connotes danger.
Butterflies
Acrylic on canvas (39cm x49 cm )
The saying “Butterflies in my stomach” is utilized to showcase the anxious fluttering of wings within an individual’s stomach when they are faced with many thoughts. Recently, I realized that my thoughts overwhelm me because they tend to change, disappear, and reappear. While the subject has a distorted waist to connect to my other artworks, I want the viewer to feel that they are the subject as they hide behind their own butterflies.
