This is my 10th piece for my sustained investigation. The mediums I worked in were mostly watercolor, as well as chalk and oil pastels.
Overall, this piece was largely inspired by the song Nobody, by Mitski. I felt that it fit a certain view I had on a heartache piece, and I wanted to interpret both the sadness present and the envy, the aching need for love and always falling short of finding it. I started by just using the blues and the greens, but I wanted there to be more colors on the girl then just that. The bandages could be a symbol of her broken, scarred body, and there are places where her body has different colored dots like yellow and red, sort of mixed together. This could also represent her own previous scars from attempts at love. And her wings, a mixture of greens, to symbolize her desire to fly. The Background is a bit more complicated, but as I showed it to another today and asked for their interpretation, they said it could mean many different things to different people. So I will do my best to describe it to you in my own eyes, but your welcome to your own ideas :). The eyes of different colors are glaring emotions; quite literally. Anger and hatred, jealously and sorrow. It might be hard to see, but the blue eyes are looking away, while the other colored eyes are looking directly at her. This is because I wanted it to seem as though the eyes were things she couldn't bear to look at herself, so they look at her instead. But in this piece, she is facing them, as the music is her gateway to her emotions, and she is able to face them as they are. The smaller, white eyes represent the eyes of others, How would she be seen as anger, or jealously? Those small, white eyes can seem like a million tiny eyes always watching for one to show signs of weakness, in this case emotions. - Kaitrin
