The idea here is to walk out of a spotlight someone else made and make your own happiness even if it’s in the dark. And overall, this is a form of art so I took paint brushes and wiped it up my face to reflect myself creating happiness.
See below for feedback:
I titled this photograph “13” for two reasons. One is that I fell, thus the unlucky number 13. The other is the fact that the size of images are in a Fibonacci Sequence. The first and the second images are the same size of 1, then 2, 3, 5, 8, and the largest is 13 times bigger than the first image. Since I am a math major, I thought it would be interesting to use some math in the art.
The responses were all over the place. On Facebook, I usually make comments such as #FakeNews to joke around with my friends, thus my friends did the exact same thing to this post.
On Monday, I posted this GIF to Facebook and Reddit. I was expecting more responses than what I got but they were still pretty decent. On my Facebook I got a couple “likes” and “loves” and no comments. On Reddit this was my first post so it didn’t really get any traction. I wasn’t expecting it to go viral overnight but I was expecting a little response because of where I posted it. It was like a women’s empowerment group or something.
For my self portrait GIF I included three of my drawings. They were all Disney characters because I love Disney. I also decided to put in a picture of my favorite sport which is baseball and for the picture of myself I used a full body shot that I took recently.
I am extremely passionate about food, and the art of food presentation. These are just a few dishes I captured over the summer, some homemade some bought. Food makes me happy. And that will always stay with me, that’s why I included the swirl illustration that resembles never ending.
I am New York and New York is me. My roots of where I am from follow me every where I go. I constantly am proud to announce to others where I’m from.
