Creating final outcomes for the major project

I finally started working on the final look of my work for the main project. I'll start with the happiest, which is HAPPINESS. The whole process from painting a wooden board to creating a flower and a butterfly on it from aluminum foil to painting everything in a colorful cheerful abstraction reflecting my happy emotions. The concept of a colorful flower and butterfly was created because I love nature and since I was a child I associated flowers and butterflies with happiness. As a little girl, I used to run away from the world to the garden, picking flowers and catching butterflies to admire their colorful wings. It was a time that made me happy whenever I needed solitude and rest from everyone.
Another work titled ANGER made of similar materials with the addition of a roll of paper as a candle or dynamite (depending on perception) and jute twine as a fuse or wick. This concept was meant to show that anger is often associated with the explosion of something like dynamite or with a blown candle flame. I also associate it with great anger and red and orange colors.




The third work in turn is entitled DISGUST. The additional material that was used were thin strips of cut fabric dipped in acrylic paint. For me, one of the two most disgusting things is vomiting. That's why they found themselves as a symbol of disgust. Added to this is a dark turquoise face with blue lips as a symbol of a disgusting disease.
The work titled FEAR was made using plaster bandages from which I made a reflection of a face that scares. He is gray in color, his eye and mouth are sewn with jute string from which you can see blood. From paper I also created something in the shape of a whirlpool that pulls you into the abyss of darkness. I have visions of fear and what scares me.


Unfortunately, with the last two works I was so focused on creating that I forgot to take pictures of the process. Usually, when I'm in this creative frenzy, it slips my mind completely. At this point, nothing else matters but implementing the idea and creating a new work.
