I chose this idea because it seemed interesting to me to see what people hated being most.
I wanted to spread to others how imperfect we can be. Instead of something that promotes love, I have shown hate.
I thought I was pretty successful. It is a straightforward piece. Unfortunately, it isn’t very shocking. Maybe slightly unsettling if anything.
If I could do this project again, I would space the words better. Some of the words are overlapping in the painting and they shouldn’t be. It still worked out in the end fortunately.
Another idea I might explore through shocking art is “accepting self-hate”. I feel like in this day and age it’s often shoved down our throats to always love ourselves. It’s a great message but I feel it should be okay to dislike something about ourselves once in a while and doing something to change it (for the better).
