"Projection" Part I (Decision and investigation of the work)
I had the assignment for a month of choosing what my work would be for my graduation, at the beginning, I did not even know if I wanted to paint, take some pictures, draw, make a performance, I did not know until I came to the conclusion that I wanted to paint every one of the people who had felt that I had been hurt me or affected my psyche in order to take it not a certain liberation but I was a little (very) enthusiastic to paint one by one each being that passed through my life I have influenced it.
The task was given to me by a teacher whose subject was "Research laboratory" he told us passionately and a little bit abruptly that our work should not be any “shit” because he considered that many of us in that room were excellent art students. I remember going through the corridors to get it and tell me dijera “Ana, did you do the work?”, "Hey, the work, Ana", "I hope your work is very good", so for weeks until I get to that idea and he's satisfied. But to all these ...
My work was entirely about this, the projection the why? Well, it was difficult to understand that I was projecting myself in my family and friends, having to realize that the times I considered a family member or a friend to be arrogant was because I was and I put it to that person, on the other hand, there was also the fact that I was not the only one, they also projected themselves on me, which I found extremely interesting, to hear him tell me"It's that Ana, you're very cool, smart and fun" when they were the same, the same or more fun, smart or great, as they were also projected by telling me"It's just that you're stupid, you idiot and you do not think things through".
On the other hand the desire I had to do my work based on this was because for a few years I learned that I have anxious disorders, panic attacks and how far I can understand I have an insipient depression (but this is another matter), I wanted my work to talk about others but also about me, how I felt and how I saw myself.
Honestly, I do not want to do this long post, so in the same way, I decided to split it into parts, I do not know if anyone would be interested in this that I will tell but more than for someone, I do it for me, I feel that it would help me to speak at least on this site that came out of me and made me feel satisfied at some point with what I was.
