Peace of Mind

Every individual traces an encounter with artworks of different kinds. With the ability to see, it is true that one learns something from the artists, this time as opposed to the silent pieces in museums, media, and archives, I would like to present a description of some ideal work that I did. Notably, individuals find it challenging to know the materials, methods, and medium in which the artwork was structured, the subject matter, and the reason behind making the art, which I would like to bring forth in this presentation.

So, following mush engagement, experiments, and sacrifice, I have done various methods of printing, which were based on the interest that I got from the Cyanotype prints. This interest has driven me to do my final project, a sculpture, seeking inspiration from Ryan McGinness, an American artist who uses visual language to create paintings, sculptures, and environments. So my project development is a brain sculpture, in which I will do an oil paint and installation of flowers, especially the rose flowers painted on the rocky background. Basically, the sculpture illustrates a brain that takes the place of the mind and a rose flower which is a symbol of passion or love. However, I would like for this case to integrate the brain with the flowers and relate it to peace of mind.

From the plan, the brain as presented is small in size, and the rose flowers undeveloped. The reason for retardation in the brain may be associated with daily life challenges, which can result in stress making the brain much loaded and then the entire brain's peace, which we can now define as lack of peace of mind. This sculpture will not be well visualized without this explanation, and therefore, I see it as a good thing to explain the reason behind the art. The art is primarily a dedication and a depiction of how the brain of people living under depressed conditions seem like, urging them to take a turn and focus on positivity.

In contrast, we have to focus on the final outcome, which is a fully developed brain on the rocky background. So, this is a stable brain belonging to a composed individual who believes in themselves. The person has “peace of mind.” Now, due to this fact, the person’s brain is depicted with a bigger brain, fully developed rose flowers of all colors. Basically, the sense of bringing a bigger brain is to appreciate the fact that individuals with peace of mind have an opportunity to grow their thoughts, as opposed to those with disturbed ones. The rose flowers are a sign of goodness, an indication of great and constructive thoughts, which would bring positive change. Lastly, the rock background is an indication of strength; peace of mind comes with strength in ideas, a meaningful decision that comes with great reasoning, which yields good results.

People should embrace the peace of mind despite the prevailing conditions. This will always offer opportunities to think about solutions and not the problems. As a peaceful mind is productive so, does greatness is promised for people who embrace positive thinking. The outcome will be growth.
