Title: Don't Panic!
Medium: Acrylic on stretched canvas Date: March 22nd 2023 Size: 60.96cm x 60.96cm Exhibition Text: Don't Panic! It is an acrylic-based piece inspired by Lichtenstein that contains a combination of both primary and secondary colors. This piece symbolizes OCD and the well-known association of constantly having to wash hands. It specifically portrays the feeling that comes with this compulsion, such as feeling like the water isn't touching the hands which evokes panic in the person. There are aspects in the piece such as the watch and the broken nozzle that indicate how much time this is taking. The excess water splashed across the sink represents chaos and aggressive washing. |
