ARTIST STATEMENT:

I created a nostalgic and dreamy collage that embodies my personal reflections and aspirations. The concept draws heavily from vintage aesthetics and surrealism to craft a message of freedom, passion, and the importance of pursuing dreams. 


Elements in my artwork:

1. Headphones and Music Notes

    These symbolise my deep connection to music, representing how it fuels my creativity and provides me 

    comfort in the middle of life's chaos. 

2. Vinyl Records and Cassette Tapes

    These vintage items evoke a sense of timelessness, reminding me to cherish the past while staying 

    inspired for the future. 

3. Butterflies (size from small to big) 

    A symbol of transformation and growth, they reflect my journey towards becoming the person I aspire 

    to be. 

4. Daisies and Nature Elements

    These signify purity and the simple joys of life, urging me to stay grounded and grateful. 

5. "Go! Live Your Dream" phrase

    A motivational call to action to keep chasing my ambitions without hesitation or fear. 

6. Van Gogh's Starry Night

    This nod to art and creativity reminds me to dream big and embrace imagination in all aspects of life. 

7. Handwritten Letter and Gramophone

    These vintage touches add a personal and emotional layer, connecting to stories, memories, and 

    traditions that shape who I am.


This artwork is a reflection of my longing for freedom, personal growth, and the courage to live authentically. It is a reminder to savour the present moment, embrace creativity, and stay true to my dreams. Through this artwork, I wish to inspire others to find beauty in the ordinary and boldly pursue the extraordinary.

Gestalt Theory Gestalt theory is a set of psychological concepts that describe how the human brain naturally organises visual information by viewing things as a whole rather than individual pieces, creating a coherent and meaningful image, even when presented with complex arrangements.  (i) Similarity Similarity refers to the concept of having multiple elements in a design share visual characteristics such as colour, shape, or size, giving the impression that these elements are related and belong to the same group.

It features a close-up of a woman's face as the main focus. Her skin is pale, almost ghostly, and her eyes have a weird red hue. The most noticeable element is a large moth covering her mouth, with its wings spread wide. The moth's body bears a distinctive skull-like pattern. The background is plain and fading, so the woman's face and moth are the most prominent aspects. The title of the movie "The ...
