Impenetrable Resiliency

 

This is my first product with the set of watercolor in tubes that I bought. It was supposed to be a pattern of strokes and colors as practice, so I’d have a good idea about the color hues. But while I was opening the tube that has the “Ivory Black” label on it, it squirted onto my work! My precious artwork, covered in ugly black splatters all over. And as I sat there with a broken heart, I remembered the times that I had endured that feeling. I knew then what to do. What I have always done when suffering in what seemed to be a failure. I danced around the ugly splatters.

A Moment of Honesty

Around the time when I made this, September of last year, I noticed that many of my friends have been coming to me for advice. After all that, I wondered how is it that people doesn’t seem to know how to take care of themselves. How is it that they all go running around solely for their selfish desires, that they give in so quickly to temptation, that they put more value on what society smiles upon than what their virtues say? Suddenly, hey, why don’t I have a look at how “ideal” I am as a human being. And closing my eyes, in self-reflection, I saw this monster staring at me.

Behind The Silence

When it comes to self-expression, this is how I see myself to be. In my head, I have all these thoughts, ideas, and feelings, but in the end, I tend to keep them bottled up. Letting all these out makes me feel so… Vulnerable, and I’m not quite happy about that.
