01 Attraction
I thought that i would create a piece like a Dandelion, the flower which we would blow and then make a wish upon. It is like how our eyes would naturally follow the seeds fly away together with the wind, in which our eyes would follow them even across a room full of people. I tried to use brush to dab across the whole area, the darkest part representing us as our soul somehow seem to follow along that person.
02 Desire
To me the feeling of desire is more like explosions. It is like having conflicted feelings of whether we really want that something. It is like making a decision if the shoe that you just saw in the shop is really something that i really want. How much do i actually desire that shoe. Hence i tried to make it like splatters of paint everywhere, spastic.
03 Panic
Usually when i start to panic, my heartbeat start to feel like they are like ringing. I wanted to show the image of flowers blooming, like it is calling out to the nature. Like they need help with the pollination. However, in my case it is more of like wanting someone to come and save me from the situation, so i throught i could try to press the paintbrush down to make weird flowery shape.
04 Amazement
When amazed, I feel like my heartbeat just went from beating normal to a sudden BOOM! So i thought maybe i would make swirling effect like the building up of getting to know that thing before getting amazed and that my heartbeat like goes like crazy, like intense zigzag of the heart line.
05 Anxiety
There was this one time when i remember being really sad about my good friends leaving me for this girl because they thought it was really cool of her to be able to see spirits and all. They even pretended that they could see it too just to be friend with her. I, who wasn’t really that into believing all those stuff that time, told them what if all she wanted to just more attention but of course i got a bad lash back. I was so down that i wanted to keep my mind off the pain mentally that i actually sought for physical pain. I thought of wanting to cut myself up badly that time. Hence why the slashes across the art piece.
06 Lust
Through the many romance movie that i seem to watch, I feel like lust is something that i have yet o experience. It is still something i do not understand but it appears to me as a fuzzy feeling, not a bad kind of fuzzy though. I guess it feels very floaty? Like you are really happy that you want the person so much your mind starts to get fuzzy and clouded. A overloading of desire i would say, that is how i would describe lust.
07 Horror
Somehow i have mix feeling about horror. One part of me really likes horror stuff while the other me is actually afraid of it. Perhaps i am just afraid of something that i could not see but they could hurt me. So i though why not make an art piece where it has both light and dark, in a sense the dark side would invade and take over the brave side of me but also the fact that the brave side of me would fight back turning the darker side into a much lighter shade.
08 Isolation
Isolation is where everyone is the painting on the tracing paper. They will somehow influence each other and start to mingling around, but if someone where to be different they would avoid that person like mad. That was what i was trying to show with this art piece.
09 Agitation
Anytime if I were to feel agitated i feel like my mind would be in a mess. The thoughts would be all jumbled up, i would not be able to think clearly and my mood is just really messed up, so i was thinking if whether there is a possible way of showing messy mind. At first i thought of using paper but it would be really hard t get thin stripes of paper to stick onto the main piece, then i thought of strings. It is thicker in a sense and also creates a sort of depth to them. In a sense it kind of shows how the jumbled thoughts just keep overlaying above each other.
10 Euphoria
To be honest, euphoria feels like a very light feeling to me. I tried to use droplets of paint and turn the paper in many directions. In a sense also saying that the subject is making my heart cry tears of joy, messy tears of joy. The moment where i actually feel at bliss, like when i finally got to eat a delicious food and it does not disappoint me.
11 Dread
The thought that i have when i need to go into a public transport full of people early in the morning. The draggy feeling of having to get out of bed and squeeze into a place full of people. I tried to drag along the paintbrush to create the jagged feeling, like there is friction holding me back.
12 Relief
Relief gives me the feeling that it my heart is finally calm, the gentle beeps in the heart line, so i thought of just doting them all over the paper. Something like raindrops on a water surface, since i feel at ease when it is raining.
13 Torment
I am not really sure if you would be able to see this on the computer, it is more clearer on the actual piece. I thought that the notion of torment is that I am already suffering but I keep getting tortured more and more. Therefore i used a dark background to show the suffered soul and adding on the scratches to show how something is tormenting me a lot much even though i am already hurt.
14 Disgust
I thought of a piece of paper just being damaged and tainted like how a person is. Somehow this is a more literal approached compared to the others.
15 Displeasure
I used tissue because displeasure to me is like trying to clean off something that makes you feel really uncomfortable. Trying to wipe away the bad memory or an actual thing that is causing me disturbance, like stepping into wet mud on a rainy day with my shoes. It displease me so much that i would rather walk bare footed since i really have a thing for protecting my shoes.
16 Insult
That moment when people just people just scold someone say something bad, it just cuts and hurts them. The comment will start to get etched into that person’s memory disfiguring it. So I tried to use painting knife to try spread and cutting through the paint.
17 Exasperation
All the different bad emotions trying to get out from you, like how your mind is pulsing in pain and irritation. The pieces of paper represent the fact that the thought of that something is latched onto you hence making you even more exasperated.
18 Excitement
When i get really excited i get really hyper and everything, it is like i lost control of myself and all the happiness just starts flying everywhere. So i used a brush and randomly twist and draw around giving it the very lively feeling.
