The subject of my image is a mosaic piece which I ended up using glitter pens for coloring each of the tiles inside with. I wanted to use different shades of blue because it has always been a color that bought me joy and represented the ocean which is a place I adore. The reason I added glitter is because I wanted to add something that I loved and was a part of my personality. I feel like the image conveys happiness, I remember when I took the picture I used in this artwork I was having the time of my life. My midterm was inspired by the famous Spanish artist Antoni Gaudi. I took pieces from his artwork in Park Güell which were composed of mosaic stones. As a result, I have made my midterm to look like a mosaic with the different array of shapes. I wanted to color them in blue to represent the color of the water in an ocean. I thought that this connection of the ocean and mosaic tiles were interesting because when someone looks at an individual tile, they are not able to see the larger picture until it is all pieced together. The ocean is connected to all parts of the earth. Being that I want to travel, I identify with the ocean, metaphorically speaking. Similarly, the oceans water is clear, but when water is in an ocean, the other aspects beneath the ocean and reflection of light make it blue. In short, there is a different meaning to things when small parts come together. I also identify with the ocean because it’s the one place where I feel at ease. I love the feeling of the water breeze on me.
