Final.

These are my final 4 compositions, along with their accompanying short story/explanation.

zmall 01A pizza is ultimately just flat bread. But it is what you put on top of the pizza that gives it its character. If you put vegetables on top, it becomes a vegetarian pizza.  Likewise if you chose to put pineapples and ham, it becomes a Hawaiian pizza. 

With that in mind, I am a pizza because I want to be as versatile as the pizza, whatever situation or "topping" I"m put in, I want to be able to adapt to it and do my best. No matter the circumstance.

The most expensive koi fishes fetch for a few thousand per fish or more. But what many people do not know is that when a pregnant koi fish gives birth, there are thousands of eggs, but only 1% or less actually mature enough and have the right patterns that are meticulously selected to be kept to be the top 1%.    

In the art industry and being in an art school, I do feel like a koi at times. I feel like a baby koi fish, jostling with everyone else to be that 1% that actually makes it and gets to do well in the art industry.
zmall 03Turtles and tortoises can feel when their shell is touched. they have nerve endings to let them feel contact, However, pain nerve endings are absent in the shell of turtles and tortoises, meaning they cant feel pain on their shells. This is where the terrapin differs from its close relatives. Similarly terrapins have nerve endings on their shell to enable them to feel. However, terrapins actually do feel pain if their shell is hurt. 

Personally, I would much rather have a shell that can feel pain, than a shell that can't. Ideally, I would want to be able to protect myself when I need to, but also be aware of whats hurting me on the outside.
zmall 04When sushi is mentioned, many people immediately think of it as a Japanese dish. However, surprisingly it did not originate from japan. It actually came from china, the rice was initially not meant to be eaten, but meant to preserve the fish that was inside. Once it spread to japan, with the ingenuity of the Japanese, it began to flourish and become an iconic Japanese dish recognized world wide today.

I say I am a sushi as personally I like Japanese art way more than Chinese art. So, much like the sushi, I may be chinese, but I would like to one day explore much more japanese art and culture and flourish in that area. Much like the humble sushi did when it spread to japan.
