Unwanted Spotlight
Unwanted Spotlight
“The world loves to shine a spotlight, but never asks if you’re ready to be seen.”— Unknown
This week I worked on this piece in many different iterations. This was the third major version I did. Which sometimes happens with art. You think you know what it should look like, but it doesn't really work once you get the pieces altogether. Lots of trial and error with body posture and window size, how much light, etc.
So if you are ever working on a piece and it isn't working, keep trying different things! and who knows I may revisit this piece at later time and make a few more tweaks.
Ok about this: Basically, I wanted to create a piece that showed light isn't always welcome. That sometimes you don't want the spotlight or to be seen. I wanted the light to reflect that feeling of being overwhelming and uninvited, something she’s trying to disappear from, not embrace.
Statement about Unwanted Spotlight:
There are moments when light arrives uninvited, demanding presence and strength. Sometimes it shows up when you’re not ready, when it feels more like pressure than peace. This work is about that tension: the urge to stay hidden, to rest in the dark, to not have to explain or perform anything. It’s about the weight of being looked at when all you want is to disappear for a while. I wanted the light to reflect that feeling of being overwhelming and uninvited. More like an unwanted spotlight—something she’s trying to disappear from, not embrace.
