This piece is titled The Sleepiest of Beauties. I’m very fatigued and exhausted from constantly being on the go. A cause and effect of constantly being on the go means that when I finally have time to rest, I cannot help but hear this incessant siren going off in my mind telling me I need to be working. It’s incredibly irritating and having that on top of little to no sleep can majorly affect how I am. I chose the color red to symbolize that siren-emergency feeling, yet the face’s expression contrasts the idea of wanting to fight.
I am currently still in progress for this piece. I plan on putting in moments of blue to not only contrast but also to show that anxiety and depression can go hand in hand- it’s the moments of blue amongst the rest. I plan on adding more highlights and shaping to the face and the hands. It is difficult thinking about such pink lighting without making this look awkward and completely unnatural.
