Abstract
Medium: Digital Art
Year: 2021
Galactic Haze is a digital piece that consists of mixtures between the colours and hues of onyx black, white, grey, electric blue, neon pink, magenta, and violets. All of those colours combined a galactic appearance of an individual in a haze avoiding the mouth from appearing. This work is based on my own disconnections within reality and being unable to vocalize properly towards others. The symbolism of the haze is the feeling of disconnection between myself and others, specifically in verbal situations. I either cannot express certain emotions, or explain the words that are in my mind. Not only that there had been a set of emotions that I unfortunately do not remember presently, which brings even more symbolism of the haze around the head and mouth. As a person who deals with mental health, it is already difficult to remember conversations, or remember too much of conversations that brings a sense of embarrassment on questioning why I would speak in the first place if it leads to humiliation . It creates an illusion of being isolated with a mental fog making the piece an overall melancholic, lost, and distant symbolic and emotional piece.
