Artwork ~ "Passion"

 Here are a few of my own original artworks, the first featuring my younger brother...

The first two (above and below, left) are just digital photography, with some simple editing. The third (below, right), however, is a mixed-media work, combining digital photography and ink drawings. All three of these works come from a series that I created in my senior year of high school, called "Passion."

Previously, I wrote the following to describe the aim of the series:
"Through Passion, I aim to capture the intensely beautiful ability that people have to feel. All of the most wonderful things we are capable of as human beings, are driven by our ability to feel passion, conviction and love. These feelings are beyong emotions--they are forces which can capture a person's entire heart and mind, and drive them to accomplish anything."

Our ability to be passionate (about anything!) is what gives us the drive and the ambition to make our lives more than a day-to-day battle to survive--to make our lives worthwhile.

 

Here are more mixed-media works. These were the main pieces I used in exhibiting Passion, and they were actually purchased from me by my high school and displayed at the University of the Sunshine Coast (QLD, Australia).
