“Metamorphosis”

By Vince Luigi C. Zepeda (Section A109 – Art Appreciation)

I have made my artwork in the portrait orientation as this would be the most
appropriate format to capture the human emotions and expressions. Why
“Metamorphosis”? it is because the meaning of this art is about the negative and
positive changes in the human person. Negative change because the subject literally
detached himself from his own identity, this is due to the pressure and expectations
brought by a variety of factors like peer pressure, academic expectations, unresolved
trauma, and insecurities which is represented by the color red. As a consequence, the
subject became sorrowful within himself which is represented by the color blue. And,
furthermore, the color black means grief and being emotionless because of the idea
that he became a different person and that he had lost himself in the process. Now, on
the other hand, the positive change is still within himself and has not detached from
him, as the color white represents hope or another chance, he can still try to be more
caring and loving to himself so that he could change into a better version of himself.
