Monika Bravo: Landscape of Belief: Christian McOmber
I am not going to lie, I was surprised at how cool this
piece was. There were so many things in
this piece that were cool and symbolic, but to me, the most creative aspect of
this work of art is that everything is made from words. From far away the animation looks almost like
a 3D blueprint, but up close you realize that the animation is made from words. More than just catching your attention I feel
like making everything out of words captures the essence of what Monika was
trying to share with the world through her art.
I feel like
making everything out of words is likely to be a symbol of how everything around
us, architecture, art, and anything else manmade was made based on the thoughts
of their creators. I think that the
author came up with this idea by looking at life around her and imagining all
of the work and thought that was put into each detail of our complicated and
beautiful surroundings. When we look at
the modern world as something that has been created by those before us, we gain the
desire to follow in their footsteps and contribute to the world by maximizing
our potential and creating new beauty.
When I look at this work of art, it reminds me that life is full of
potential and there are so many thoughts and dreams that will change the landscape
we call reality. I believe all of us
have the potential to maximize our talents and imagine beautiful things so that
they may one day be. I am sure Monika
has many meanings in this masterpiece, but to me it represents the thoughts and
dreams that have created the world in which we live. This work communicates to me that life can be our
“Landscape of Belief,” when we believe.
I love what you said about the words making up the piece. Everything around us it made up of others 'words' and ideas or concepts.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you aren't lying to us about how you were surprised at the coolness of the piece haha
ReplyDeleteI really liked your interpretation of the reason for using words to create the images in the piece. It would be interesting to know if the letters say anything or if the string of letters tell a story!
