This is the short story I wrote about my art piece and how I felt while drawing it. Today as I walking I thought about this painting I saw at a art show I went to recently it was a sexualized Mother Mary with her son Jesus it had made me upset as I thought about it more and more feelings flooding into me thinking of the sexualization of women. Her chest highlighted all over the painting knowing she was a young girl. The more I thought about it the more emotional I became the more I thought about it the more emotional I became, she had been through so much Mother Mary pregnant at 14 with God's child, giving birth in a barn which was supposed to be filled with love, could only feel cold to her with the son she loves. That artwork twisted it, it twisted her love, her sacrifices. I started crying for Mother Mary just like she cried for Jesus, I felt she needed someone to cry for her just like she cried for her son. I felt so many emotions while making this piece and thinking about the art I seen. This artwork to me is to show how even the most pure women like mother Mary can still be sexualized no matter who they are or what they represent.

Creativity to me is anything you make it out to be anything can be creative as long as you feel it is. There are so many forms of creativity besides art that are so special to everyone that it amazes me.
