Art of Discomfort

Personal Statement

I think that there is beauty in discomfort. Art is meant to be interpreted however you like. But I named this piece because I think it’s an important lesson for us all. Animals, plants, and the earth, they all adapt to surroundings: plants grow where they might now be expected to grow, or where it might not be a social normal, flowers grow wherever they are planted, wherever they are placed, wherever they are dropped. And they make something non-interesting beautiful – these components coming together, in a non-traditional way, make it art. Art is meant to be unique.
