Project 1

Week 9 - Week 10

The starting of project, I was thinking of how to express depression and pain which was something that everyone had or have been through. It's a normal feeling to have especially when facing hardships. So, I decided to talk about how I feel when I faced lots of depression and pain last year during my foundation year.

P.S : I sucked in drawing humans especially faces and after a few experiences in drawing self portrait during foundation I had improved a lot.

I took a photo of myself while imagining how I look when I look in pain and sad, well.. I don't think it worked out but I tried.

After that, I tried drawing according to this photo (above) and it took me around 3 hours as I kept correcting my face since it's not easy to draw the part of my eye as it's not symmetrical.

Then, I painted them. But I wasn't that satisfied at first because the background was empty so I thought about drawing and painting out brick walls.

What is the meaning ?

I wanted to show that I used to mask my depression and smiled and laughed a lot but then deep inside I was really hurting a lot as I went through lots of broken relationships not only love but with my family and having ex- friends who stills talk bad stuff behind me. So, I painted myself a sad teary face and I was holding a mask. Then, the wall background represents the wall I built in order to protect myself and I became not so openly to everyone whom I'm close with now.
