My inquiry question is "what does frustration look like from the outside vs the inside?" My concept began last summer when I poured milk on myself to portray the theme "Crying over spilled milk." It synthesizes my perception of frustration (shown in image 1) which is a combination of feelings such as sorrow, rage, regret, etc. Frustration is not just a feeling, but a state of mind that cannot be defined. The blank expression is concealed by others. Therefore, it reflects what I look like on the outside vs what I feel on the inside. Images 2-4, 6, and 10 are revisions that communicate my feelings when my expectations are not met. My anxiety builds up and tempts me to destroy my work. Images 7-10 are more personal and self-reflected. Image 7 communicates a message of my negative thoughts and the scratch marks demonstrate me trying to erase it. Image 8 relates to COVID-19 and how trapped I feel inside my house. Image 9 relates to 2017-2018 when I was struggling in high school. The colored mirror pieces highlight the scarce happiness while everything else in my life felt empty I viewed my life as a puzzle that could not be solved. All I had were the pieces but no picture
