I'm Listening

I made this piece of artwork when I felt like no one was listening to me or letting me know they were there for me. I was frustrated, deeply hurt, and felt a sense of loneliness. It made me feel as if I was forgotten and no one wanted to lend even 2 minutes of their time just to be right by my side when I was stressed. I felt that if I didn't have someone or something to vent my emotions I would burst or break down. At that moment all these emotions of stress built up and I didn't really put much thought into what I was drawing as I thought it was just another random drawing that I just wanted to take my mind off of reality for a second. The only point was the day before I wanted to buy a black ear painted on a canvas to display in my room because I thought it was just extraordinary. My drawing fit perfectly because unconsciously my emotions were filling into the artwork as moments before I had wanted someone to lend me their ear.

Times get tough and I use art as a way to express the inner emotions that I don't want to show or feel guilty to express to another peer. Whether dancing or drawing I can always channel my feelings into something beautiful using it as a way to vent.
